Add Fuel
All fuel is not the same. If a starting or performance
problem is encountered immediately after new fuel has
been used, try another service station or change brands.
NOTE: This engine is certified to operate on gasoline.
Exhaust Emissions Control System: EM (Engine
Modifications).
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
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.
• Wait for spilled fuel to evaporate before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
Type of Fuel
1. Always use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). DO NOT
mix oil with fuel. DO NOT modify the engine fuel
system or carburetor to run on alternative fuels.
NOTE: Fuel with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), is acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Use of any fuel other than those
approved above will void warranty. Some areas
require that fuel pumps be marked if the fuel contains
alcohols or ethers. If you are not sure if your fuel
contains alcohol or ethers that are different than those
approved above, then check with the service station
operator.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. 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 let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
