Preparation
1. Make sure the generator is on a solid, flat, level surface.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap and set it aside.
3. Slowly add gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill.
The fuel gauge on the top of the fuel tank indicates how much
gasoline is in the generator fuel tank.
• To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH,
UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture. Never use old gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt or water in the gasoline 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 gasoline in
the tank.

4. Replace the fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a
dry cloth then remove the cloth from the area.
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below a critical level.
CAUTION
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the
unit. During the break-in period stay at or below 50% of the
running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also
cause engine speed to vary slightly and help seat piston
rings. After the 5-hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5-hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil
will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41° F (5° C)
temperatures.
NOTICE
• Propane tanks that use liquid withdrawal system can not be
used on these models.
• Confirm that the re-qualification date on the tank has not
expired.
• DO NOT use included LPG hose for any other appliances.
NOTICE
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:
Fill the gasoline 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 gasoline. Do not smoke.
WARNING
Add Gasoline
Do not overfill the gasoline the tank. Overfilling can result in a fire,
explosion,or death.
Gasoline can expand. Do not fill the gasoline tank to the top. Leave a
minimum of 1.5 inches open space. Gasoline fumes are highly
flammable. Do not fill the tank near an open flame. Always
check for gasoline spills.
