Add Gasoline

,_ WARNING! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Allow

unit to cool for two minutes before refueling. Do

Not light a cigarette or smoke when filling the

fuel tank.

,_ WARNING! Do Not overfill the fuel tank.

Always leave room for expansion.

• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the

generator engine. Do Not use premium gasoline.

Do Not mix oil with gasoline.

• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank.

Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1/2" of tank

space for fuel expansion, as shown here.

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits

from forming in fuel system parts such as the

carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-

blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture, which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See

"Storage" on page 16. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent

damage may occur.

TO START THE ENGINE

,_ WARNING! Never start or stop engine with

electrical devices plugged into the receptacles

AND devices turned ON.

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use

the following start instruction steps by numerical order:

1. Make sure the Idle Control switch is in "Off"

position.

3. Set the Run/Stop switch to "Run" position.

4. Place the choke lever in the "Full" choke position.

FULL RUN

5B. Grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until slight

resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly one time only

to start engine.

• If engine starts, proceed to step 7.

• If engine fails to start, proceed to step 6.

6. Move the choke lever to "Half" choke position, and

pull recoil handle twice.

• If engine fails to start, repeat steps 4 thru 6.

7. Move choke lever to "Run" position. If engine

falters, move choke lever to "Half" choke position

until the engine runs smoothly, and then to "Run"

position.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls, but fails to run for

more than 10 seconds, check for proper oil level in

crankcase. This unit is equipped with a Low Oil

Pressure Shutdown System (see below).

IMPORTANT: Do Not overload the generator. Also,

Do Not overload individual panel receptacles. These

outlets are protected against overload with push-to-

reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any

circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and

electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't

Overload the Generator" on page 11 carefully.
