To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Tilting the generator to assist in filling will cause oil to
flow into engine areas and will cause damage. Keep generator level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Add oil slowly. Do not overfill.
4. To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill opening
without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.
5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to the top of the dipstick. Do not
overfill the crankcase. The generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and will not start if the amount
of oil is insufficient.
6. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly.
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 7.4 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.
