SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline
while the inverter is running can
cause gasoline to leak and come in
contact with hot surfaces that can
ignite the gasoline.
OPERATION
DANGER
WARNING
NOTICE
Before starting the inverter, always check the level of:
・ Engine oil
・ Gasoline in the fuel tank
Once the inverter is started and the engine gets
warm, it is not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank
or engine oil to the engine while the engine is
running or the engine and muffler are hot.
CAUTION
WARNING
NOTICE
CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL
Internal pressure can build in the
engine crankcase while the engine
is running. Removing the oil fill plug/
dipstick while the engine is hot can
cause extremely hot oil to spray out
of the crankcase and can severely
burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for
several minutes before removing
the oil fill plug/dipstick.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the
engine. You must add engine oil before starting
the inverter for the first time. See Initial Oil Fill on
page 12 for instructions on checking engine oil
level and the procedure for adding engine oil.
The engine does not contain engine oil as
shipped. Attempting to start the engine without
adding engine oil will permanently damage
internal engine components.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown
switch. If the oil level becomes low, the engine
may shut down and not start until the oil is filled
to the proper level.

ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
Never refuel the inverter while the
engine is running.
Always turn the engine off and
allow the inverter to cool before
refueling.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with
gasoline. Avoid prolonged
breathing of gasoline vapors.
Required Gasoline - Only use gasoline that meets
the following requirements:
• Unleaded gasoline only
• Gasoline with maximum 10% ethanol added
• Gasoline with an 87 octane rating or higher
Filling the Fuel Tank - Follow the steps below to fill
the fuel tank: (fuel tank capacity: 1.58Gal)
1. Shut off the inverter.
2. Allow the inverter to cool down so all surface areas
of the muffler and engine are cool to the touch.
3. Move the inverter to a flat surface.
4. Clean area around the fuel cap.
5. Remove the fuel cap by rotating counterclockwise.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Spilled fuel will
damage some plastic parts.
6. Slowly add gasoline into the fuel tank. Be very
careful not to overfill the tank. The gasoline level
should NOT be higher than the red ring
(see Figure 5).
7. Install the fuel cap by rotating clockwise.
