BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Add Oil
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SG, SF/CC, CD. Select the oil's
viscosity grade according to your expected operating
temperature:
colder
SAE 10W30
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general all temperature
use. Multi-viscosity oils (10W30, etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, but these oils will result in increased oil
consumption. Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible damage from running low on oil.
To Add Engine Oil:
• Place the generator on a level surface.
• Remove the oil fill cover.
• Remove oil filler cap and wipe dipstick clean (Figure 1).

Oil Filler Neck
• If the oil level is not at the point of overflowing from the
oil filler neck, slowly fill engine with recommended oil.
• Reinstall oil filler cap and tighten securely.
• Replace the oil fill cover.
• Check the engine oil level before starting each time
thereafter.
Add Gasoline
WARNING!
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do Not
light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
CAUTION!
Do Not overfill the fuel tank.
Always leave room for expansion.
• Use clean fresh UNLEADED gasoline with a pump rating
of 86 or higher. Do Not use premium or leaded
gasoline. Do Not mix oil with gasoline.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Check the fuel level.
• If fuel level is low, slowly add recommended gasoline to
fuel tank, up to the shoulder of the fuel strainer
(Figure 2). Be careful not to overfill (there should be no
fuel in the filler neck).
Figure 2 — Fuel Level
Fill to This Level
NOTE: Occasionally clear the fuel strainer of any dirt,
rust, or other particulate matter.
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Occasionally you may hear a light "spark knock" or
"pinging" (metallic rapping noise) while operating under
heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark knock or
pinging occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load,
change brands of gasoline or obtain a higher octane rated
fuel. If pinging or spark knock persists, see your local Briggs
& Stratton repair center.
