ASSEMBLY

INITIAL OIL FILL

THIS GENERATOR HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT
OIL. DO NOT attempt to crank or start engine before
it has been properly serviced with recommended oil.
Failure to add engine oil before starting will result in
serious engine damage.
The included, recommended oil type for typical use is
10W-30 engine oil. If running the generator in extreme
temperatures, refer to the following chart.
1. On a level surface, remove the oil dipstick.
2. Using the supplied funnel and oil, add oil into oil filler
neck.
Note: As residual oil from the factory may remain in the
engine, add the oil incrementally near the end of the
bottle to prevent overfilling the engine. See Engine
Oil Level Check in the Maintenance section.
3. Wipe the oil dipstick clean. Replace the oil dipstick and
hand-tighten.

NOTICE

FUEL

Fire and explosion hazard. NEVER use a gasoline
container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is
broken, cut, torn or damaged.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Fill
only to the red fill ring located in the in-tank fuel screen
filter. Overfilling may cause fuel to spill onto engine
causing a fire or explosion hazard.
Fire and explosion hazard. NEVER refuel the generator
while the engine is running. ALWAYS turn the engine off
and allow the generator to cool for two minutes before
refueling.
DO NOT use E15 or E85 fuel in
this product. Engine or equipment
damage caused by stale fuel or
the use of unapproved fuels (such
as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is
not covered by warranty. Only use
unleaded gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

• CLEAN, FRESH, unleaded gasoline, 87–93 octane.
• Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where
available; non-ethanol fuel is recommended).
• DO NOT use E85 or E15.
• DO NOT use a gas oil mix.
• DO NOT modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.
• DO NOT fuel indoors.
• DO NOT create a spark or flame while fueling.
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable
life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that
can clog the fuel system. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for use.
ALWAYS mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to
gasoline in an approved gasoline container before fueling
the generator. Run the generator for five minutes to allow
the stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
