2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE

DANGER

Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Never fill fuel tank when engine is running
or hot. Allow engine to cool entirely before
filling fuel tank. Avoid spilling gasoline on HOT
engine. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when
filling the fuel tank.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room
for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled,
fuel can overflow onto a HOT engine and cause
FIRE or EXPLOSION.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do
not use any gasoline with more than 10% added Ethanol, and
never use E85 gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Fill to bottom
of screen filter. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 10).
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank
during storage. 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. See the "Storage" section. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may
occur.

2.7 TO START THE ENGINE

2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
• Close fuel valve.

2.9 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down
the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified
level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has
enough gasoline, check engine oil level.
