level is the base of the threads in the filler

neck (B). DO NOT OVERFILL!

5. Replace oil fill cap and hand-tighten.

Figure 2-4. Add Engine Oil

Fuel

Fuel requirements are as follows:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• Minimum rating of 87 octane/87 AKI (91

RON).

• Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable

(where available; non-ethanol-premium fuel

is recommended).

• DO NOT use E85.

• DO NOT use a gas oil mix.

• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate

fuels. Stabilize fuel prior to storage.

1. Verify unit is OFF and cooled for a mini-

mum of two minutes prior to fueling.

2. Place unit on level ground in a well venti-

lated area.

3. Clean area around fuel cap and remove

cap slowly (A). See Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5. Add Recommended Fuel

NOTE: Allow spilled fuel to evaporate before

starting unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to pre-

vent 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.

Prepare Generator for Use

Know Generator Limits

Overloading a generator can result in damage

to the generator and connected electrical

devices. Observe the following to prevent

overload:

• Add up the total wattage of all electrical

devices to be connected at one time. This

total should NOT be greater than the gener-

ator's wattage capacity.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken

from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools,

appliances, and motors can be found on a

data label or decal affixed to the device.

• If the appliance, tool, or motor does not

give wattage, multiply volts times ampere

rating to determine watts (volts x amps =

watts).

• Some electric motors, such as induction

types, require about three times more watts

of power for starting than for running. This

surge of power lasts only a few seconds

when starting such motors. Make sure to

allow for high starting wattage when select-

ing electrical devices to connect to the gen-

erator:

1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest

motor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all

other connected loads.

The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to

assist in determining how many items the gen-

erator can operate at one time.

NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data

label on appliance for wattage requirements.

DANGER

The exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do

not alter or modify the exhaust system as to render it

unsafe or make it noncompliant with local codes and/or

standards. Failure to do so will result in death

or serious injury.

(000118)

DANGER

Risk of fire. Do not use generator without

spark arrestor installed. Failure to do so

could result in death or serious injury.
