Generac Power Systems 00862-1 - Manual (Page 11)

SPECIFICATIONS
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This generator is equipped with a gasoline fuel sys­
tem as standard equipment. Specific installations may
provide either a separate fuel tank for the generator,
or the generator may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel
tank.
NOTE: Installations using a “shared” fuel tank may
have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than
the vehicle engine’s pickup tube. Such an arrange­
ment causes the generator engine to “run but of gas”
while adequate fuel for the vehicle remains in the
tank.
To reduce lead and carbon deposits use high quality
UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded
REGULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substi­
tute.
NOTE: Using “Unleaded” gasoline contributes to
longer engine valve life by reducing lead and carbon
deposits.
CAUTION: Generac does not recommend using
any gasoline containing alcohol, it must not con­
tain more than 10 percent ethanoi and it must be
removed from the tank during storage. Do NOT
use any gasoline containing methanol. If you use
gasoline with alcohol, inspect more frequently for
fuel leaks and other abnormalities.
ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API ser­
vice classification SF, SG or SH. The recommended
oil weights include the following:
• During summer months: SAE 30. An. acceptable substi-
. tuteisSAE10W-30.
• During winter months: SAE 5W30. DO NOT USE SAE
10W-40.
Crankcase and oil filter capacity is about 1400ml or
about 1.5 U.S. quart. Use no special additives. See
“Maintenance” section for oil level check and fill pro­
cedures.
