OPERATION
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable
life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that
can clog the fuel system. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Always mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to
gasoline in an approved gasoline container before
fueling the generator. Run the generator for ve minutes
to allow the stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
ADDING GASOLINE
See Figures 9 - 10.
DANGER
Fire and explosion hazard.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel the generator
while the engine is running. Do not smoke or create
sparks while fueling. Always turn the engine off and
allow the generator to cool for at least ve minutes
before refueling.
DANGER
Fire and explosion hazard. Do
not overll fuel tank. Fill only to the red maximum
ll ring on the fuel screen. Overlling may cause
fuel to spill onto engine causing a re or explosion
hazard.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container,
gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is broken,
cut, torn or damaged.
NOTICE
Only ll the tank from an
approved gasoline container. Make sure the
gasoline container is internally clean and in good
condition to prevent fuel system contamination.
lTurn the generator off and allow the engine to cool for at
least ve minutes.
lPlace the generator on a level surface in a well-
ventilated area. DO NOT fuel indoors.
lClean area around fuel cap and remove the cap slowly.
lSlowly add the recommended fuel. Do not overll.
NOTE: The gasoline level should NOT be higher than
the red maximum ll ring on the fuel screen.
lInstall the fuel cap. Tighten securely.
lClean up any spilled fuel.
lMove at least 30 ft. away from refueling area before
restarting the engine.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and
plastic. Use caution when lling the fuel tank. Damage
caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE
Clean the fuel screen lter of
debris before and after each fueling. Remove the
fuel screen lter by slightly compressing it while
removing it from the fuel tank.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above
sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5%
for every 1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at
altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without
this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
NOTICE
DO NOT operate the generator
at altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high
altitude kit installed. Engine damage may occur.
