2. Before the first use, remove the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline. When
fueling, be sure that the fuel strainer is in place. Replace the fuel tank cap. Thereafter, check
the engine’s fuel gauge for the amount of unleaded gasoline in the fuel tank. If necessary, refill
the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline. The generator must be turned off and cooled down before
refilling the fuel tank.
