Add Fuel
WARNING
BEFORE STARTING THE
GENERATOR
To operate the generator you will need to first add
engine oil and gasoline, as follows:
Add
Engine
Oil
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use
special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the table below:
"_ L L J 1 J
_F .20 0 2O 32 4O ¢_0 8O 100
c ._1 .2b n .i1o ' _
i'o
2b _b ' 4'o
STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF
ENERGY CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable
oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.
* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible engine
bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2. Place generator on a level surface.
3. Clean area around yellow oil fill cap. Remove oil
fill cap.
4. Slowly fill engine with oil through oil fill opening
until oil level is to the point of overflowing,
5. Install yellow oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
6. Check engine oil level before starting each time
thereafter. If oil level is below the point of
overflowing, fill to proper level.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break-in.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve
pressure in tank.
Fill fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
NOTE: This gasoline engine is certified to operate on
gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM
(Engine Modifications).
1. Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED fuel with a
minimum of 85 octane with equipment. DO NOT
use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil
with fuel.
2.
3.
Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" of tank
space for fuel expansion, as shown here.

4. Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the
fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See "Storage" on page 16 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
