•We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A FUEL STABLIZER will minimize the formulation
of fuel gum deposits during storage, the fuel
stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel
tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
•If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the
unit is to be stored for some time, use a
commercially available FUEL STABILIZER added
to the gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
Run the unit for 5-10 minutes to circulate treated
gasoline into the fuel lines abs carburetor before
shutdown. DO NOT STORE GENERATOR
WITHOUT FUEL STABILIZER IN FUEL SYSTEM
INCLUDING TANK, FUEL LINES AND
CARBURETOR.
•Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/ or
improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer's warranty.
•Do not store gasoline from one season to
another season.
Battery Charging & Maintenance
The battery powers up the starter motor and the
control module in this generator. This product is
equipped with an automatic battery charging circuit.
The battery will receive charging voltage when the
engine is running. The battery will maintain a proper
charge if the unit is used on a regular basis (about
once every two weeks). If it is used less frequently,
the battery should be connected to a trickle charger
(not included) or battery maintainer (not included) to
keep the battery properly charged. If the battery is
not able to start the engine, it can be started
manually only on “GAS” position by pulling the
engine recoil cord. If the battery voltage is extremely
low, the charging circuit may not be able to re-
charge the battery. In this case, the battery must be
connected to a standard automotive style battery
charger for re-charging before it can be used.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains odorless and colorless
carbon monoxide gas.
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your
generator during periods of storage, the following
precautions should be followed: When storing the
generator for short or extended periods of time
make sure that the fuel selector switch is in the “OFF”
position and the battery leads have been
disconnected from the battery.
