Fuel Cap
Turn counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
Fuel Cap Air Vent
The fuel cap is equipped with an air vent to stop fuel from flowing to the carburetor. The Air
Vent must be in the "ON" position to allow fuel to flow so that the engine can run. Turn the
Air Vent to the "OFF" position to stop fuel flow.
Fuel
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may be
used provided a high octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We recommend
always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or
into the gasoline in a storage container.
Adding Fuel
•
Set generator on a clean and level surface in an area that is well ventilated.
•
Do not smoke while adding fuel.
•
Remove fuel cap.
•
Insert a funnel into the fuel tank and carefully pour gasoline into the tank until fuel level reaches about 1 ½ inches below the
top of the neck. Be careful not to overfill the tank to provide space for fuel expansion.
•
Replace fuel cap and secure tightly.
