You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
If the fuel level is low, refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never
refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes can reach
flames or sparks.

Ethanol (E10) or 5% Methanol by volume. In addition, Methanol must
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
Use of fuels with content of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown

with percentages of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown above
are not covered under warranty.
With the engine stopped, add fuel to the generator in a well-ventilated
