wHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in
tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow minimum 3/4” (2 cm) from top
of strainer to avoid fuel spillage from cap. Space remaining in
tank provides room for fuel expansion and prevents fuel from
spilling out vented fuel cap when generator is wheeled.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill. Allow minimum 3/4” (2 cm) (c) from top
of strainer to avoid fuel spillage from cap.
NOTE: Occasionally clear the fuel strainer of any dirt, rust, or
other particulate matter.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
