2.7 BEFORESTARTIN6THEGENERATOR
Priorto operatingthe generator,engineoil and gasoline will need
to be added,as follows:
2.7.1 AL}gitVGEtVGIflEO/L
All oil should meet minimum American PetroleumInstitute (API)
Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select
the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating
temperature(also see chart).
* Above40° F,useSAE30
* Below 40° Fand down to 10° F,use 10W-30
* Below 10° F,usesynthetic5W-30

Temperature Range of Expected Use
1. Place generatoron a levelsurface (not to exceed15° in any
direction).
2. Cleanareaaroundoil fill andremoveoil fill cap.
3. Slowly fill engine with oil until the dipstick reads full. Stop
filling occasionallyto check oil level.
4. Install dipstick andfinger tighten securely.
5. Checkengineoil levelbefore starting eachtime thereafter.
2.7.2 ADD/NGGASOLINE
NEVER fill fuel tank indoors. Avoid spilling
gasoline on hot engine. Allow engine to cool
entirely before adding fuel. NEVER fill fuel tank
when engine is running or hot. DO NOT light
a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are
EXPLOSIVE.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room
for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled,
fuel can over flow onto a hot engine and cause
fire or an explosion. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
1. UseregularUNLEADEDgasolinewith the generatorengine.Do
not use premiumgasoline.Do not mix oil with gasoline.
2. Cleanareaaroundfuel fill cap, removecap.
3. Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Fill to
bottom of screenfilter. Be carefulnotto overfill (Figure11).
4. Install fuel cap andwipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT:Itis important to preventgum depositsfrom forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel hose or tank
during storage. Alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol)can attract moisture, which leads to separationand
formation of acids duringstorage.Acidic gas can damagethe fuel
system of an enginewhile in storage. To avoid engineproblems,
the fuel system should be emptiedbefore storage of 30 days or
longer.Seethe "Storage"section. Neveruse engineor carburetor
cleanerproducts inthe fuel tank as permanentdamagemay occur.
