Step 3 - ADD GASOLINE
WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors,
which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not
mix oil with gasoline.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel cap and set aside. NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of the fuel tank
is 4 gallons. NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over
during use even with the fuel cap in place.
4. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
Never use old gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store generator for extended
periods of time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
Turn the fuel cock off and drain the fuel from the carburetor.
Step 4 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the
generator can result in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the
grounding nut on the front control panel against a grounding
wire. 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, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into the
ground. Wire and grounding rods are not included in
generator contents.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local
electrician to check the area codes.
NOTE: After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.
