Owner`s manual

Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane rating. Do
not use gasoline which contains Methanol. 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. Please refer to the
chart in figure 4 for fuel capacity. The fuel gauge on the top of the generator indicates how
much gasoline is in the generator fuel tank. 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 off any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Never use old gasoline.
• Avoid letting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
• Gasoline 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 5). 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. Wire and grounding rod are not included in generator contents.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the grounding
regulations for your area.
