Step 2- Add Gasoline
WARNING: Gasoline and gas fumes are highly flamm able.
 Do not fill tank near an open flame.
 Do not overfill. Always check for fuel spills.
To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH, UNLEADED GAS WITH AN OCTANE
RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. To add gasoline:
1. Make sure the generator is on a le vel surface.
2. Unscrew gas cap and set aside (NOTE: the gas cap may be tight and hard to unscrew).
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Please refer to the
chart in figure 9 to find the gas capacity of your generator mod el. The fuel gauge on the top of
the generator indicates how much gasoline is in the generator gas tank. NOTE: Gas can expand.
Do not fill the gas tank to the very top.
4. Replace fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
 Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
 Never use old gas.
 Avoid letting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
 Gas can age in the tank and make it hard to start up the generator in the future. Never store
generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.

Step 3- Ground the Generator
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire (see figure 1 0). A
generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.
This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper or brass grounding rod that is
driven into the earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the grounding
regulations for your area.
