BEFORE STARTING
THE
GENERATOR
To operate the generator you will need to first add
engine oil and gasoline, as follows:
Add Engine
Oil
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in
the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SF or SG SAE 30
weight. Use no special additives.
Select the oil's viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature. Do Not use
SAE 10W-40.

Temperature Range
ofExpected Use
• Above 40°F, use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30.
• Below 40°F, use synthetic 5W-20 or 5W-30.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil.
• Place generator on a level surface.
• Clean area around yellow oil fill cap. Remove the oil
fill cap.
• Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil fill opening
until the oil level is to the point of overflowing.
• Install yellow oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
• Check engine oil level before starting each time
thereafter. If the oil level is below the point of
overflowing, fill to the proper level.
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 regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator
engine. Do Not use premium gasoline. Do Not mix
oil with gasoline.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank.
Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1/2" of tank
space for fuel expansion, as shown here.
1/2" Air Space

Fuel
• 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
"Storage" on page 17. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent
damage may occur.
TO START THE ENGINE
_
ARNING!
Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged into the receptacles
AND devices turned ON.
• Unplug all electrical loads from units receptacles
before starting the engine.
• Make sure the unit is in a level position.
• Open the fuel shut-off valve.
