SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Checking and Filling Fuel
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM FIRE:
Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area
away from ignition sources. If the Engine
is hot from use, shut the Engine off and
wait for it to cool before adding fuel. Do not smoke.
1. Clean the Fuel Cap and the area around it.
2. Unscrew and remove the Fuel Cap.
3. Remove the Strainer and remove any dirt
and debris. Then replace the Strainer.
Note: Do not use gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol (E10). Do not use E85 ethanol. Add fuel
stabilizer to the gasoline or the Warranty is VOID.
Note: Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a
metal fuel container or a dirty fuel container. It can
cause particles to enter the carburetor, affecting
engine performance and/or causing damage.
4. If needed, fill the Fuel Tank to about 1 inch under
the fill neck of the Fuel Tank with 87 octane or
higher unleaded gasoline that has been treated
with a fuel stabilizer additive. Follow fuel stabilizer
manufacturer’s recommendations for use.
5. Then replace the Fuel Cap.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess
to evaporate before starting engine.
To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine
while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
Engine Oil Change
CAUTION! Oil is very hot during operation and can cause burns. Wait for engine to cool before changing oil.
1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.
2. Close vent on Gas Cap.
3. On the left side of the Generator, loosen
the Access Panel Screw at the top
and remove the Access Panel.
4. Clean the top of the Oil Fill Plug and the
area around it. Remove the Oil Fill Plug,
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Place the Generator on stands with the oil
fill centered over an oil drain pan. Tilt the
Generator over the oil drain pan and wait for oil
to drain completely. The oil will drain through
the opening on the housing. Recycle used oil.
6. Set the Generator back down on a level
surface. Add the appropriate type of oil until
the oil level is at the proper level. SAE 10W-30
oil is recommended for general use. The SAE
Viscosity Grade chart shows other viscosities
to use in different average temperatures.
