Do not overfill (check the "Specifications" section for the tank capacity of your generator).
Always check for fuel spills.
IMPORTANT:
Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Do not use old gas.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Never store generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.
Step 3 - Ground the Generator
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire (see figure 5 on page
10). A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper
wire. This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper or brass-grounding rod
that is driven into the ground/earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the grounding
regulations for your area.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before attempting to start.
To start your generator, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure no electrical devices are connected to the generator. Such devices can make it
difficult for the engine to start.
2. Check that the generator is properly grounded and turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position (see
figure 6).
3. Move the choke lever to the "CLOSED" position (see figure 7).
4. Set the engine switch to the "ON" position.
