refueling, tighten the tank cover and wipe up any spilled fuel. Prevent dirt and water from entering the
tank.
● Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol or gasoline containing methanol, otherwise the
engine will be seriously damaged.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator stopped and cooled entirely,also make sure it is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel cap anticlockwise slowly and set aside.
NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be sure not to fill above the upper limit mark(the red
insert). Always allow room for fuel expansion. The capacity of the fuel tank is 1.3gallon.
4. Install the fuel cap.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over during use even with
the fuel cap in place. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
● Do not fill tank indoors.
● Do not fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
● Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
● Never use old gasoline.
● Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
● Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store generator for extended periods of
time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
● Turn the fuel cock off and drain the fuel from the carburetor.
● Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.h
● It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage.
● Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the generating set while in storage. Be sure to review the
instruction given in “Storage” section.
● Gasoline/ Alcohol Blends: up to 10% alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a fuel.
Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved.
● Effects of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not warrantable.
● Allow the generating set to cool for at least two minutes before removing fuel cap when adding fuel.
● Loose the fuel cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
● Fuel and vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel in a well ventilated area. Keep fire
and spark away. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury!
