Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank
when engine is running or hot. Avoid spilling
gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to cool
entirely before filling fuel tank. 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. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
Never light a cigarette or smoke when filling
the fuel tank. Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE
and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never permit
smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity while handling gasoline.
1. UseregularUNLEADEDgasolinewith the generatorengine.Do
not use any gasoline with more than 10% addedethanol. Do
not use E85 gasoline.Do not mix oil with gasoline.
2. Cleanareaaroundfuel fill cap, removecap.

IMPORTANT:It is 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 storageof 30 days or
longer.Seethe "Storage"section. Neveruse engineor carburetor
cleanerproductsin the fuel tank as permanentdamagemay occur.
2.8 STARTINGPULLSTARTENGINES
Never start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged into the receptacles AND
devices turned on.
1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptaclesbefore
starting the engine.
2. Makesure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed15° in
any direction).
3. OPENthe FuelShut-off Valve(Figure10).
4. TurnengineRUN/STOPswitch to ON position(Figure11).
5. Slide engine choke to the LEFT to FULL CHOKEposition
(Figure12).
6. To start engine,firmly graspthe recoil handleandpull slowly
until increasedresistanceis felt. Pullrapidly up and away.
7. Whenenginestarts, movechokeknob to 1/2-CHOKEposition
until engine runs smoothly and then fully into RUN position.
If enginefalters,move chokeback out to 1/2-CHOKEposition
until engineruns smoothly andthen to RUNposition.
NOTE:
If engine fires, but does not continueto run,movechokelever
to FULLCHOKEand repeatstartinginstructions.
iMPORTANT:Do not overloadthe generator.Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles.These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage
rating of any circuit breakeris exceeded,that breaker opens and
electricaloutputto that receptacleis lost. Read"Don't Overloadthe
Generator"carefully.
