Maintenance
Checking and Filling Fuel
1. Clean the Fuel Cap and the area around it.
2. Unscrew and remove the Fuel Cap.
3. Remove the strainer and remove any dirt and debris. Then
replace the strainer.
Note: Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol
(E10). Do not use E85 ethanol. Add a fuel stabilizer to the gasoline
or the Warranty is VOID.
Note: Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a metal fuel
container or a dirty fuel container. It can cause particles to enter
the carburetor, affecting engine performance and/or causing
damage.
4. If needed, fill the Fuel Tank to about 1 inch under the fill neck
with 87 octane unleaded gasoline that has been treated with a
fuel stabilizer additive. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer's
recommendations for use.
5. Replace the Fuel Cap.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess to evaporate before
starting the engine. To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine
while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
Engine Oil Change
1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.
2. On the right side of the generator, loosen the screws and
remove the Oil Fill Access Door.
3. Place an oil drain pan under the generator and center under the
Oil Drain opening.
4. Remove the oil drain plug from the generator, tilt the generator
slightly to facilitate drainage, and wait for the oil to drain
completely. Recycle used oil.
5. Clean the top of the Oil Fill and the area around it.
6. Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at the proper
level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
Note: Make sure the generator is level when adding oil to prevent
overfilling which could cause engine damage.
7. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
Screw the dipstick fully into the filler neck. Remove the dipstick and
verify that the oil level is within safe operating range.
8. Once you have filled your oil in the generator re-install the side
panel.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:
Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition
sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off
and wait for it to cool before adding fuel. Do not smoke.
WARNING
Oil is very hot during operation and can cause burns. Wait for
the engine to cool before changing the oil.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to run the engine with too little oil. The engine
will not start with low or no engine oil.
