Any attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been properly serviced with the

recommended oil may result in an engine

failure.

1. Place generator on a level surface (not to exceed 15° in any

direction).

2. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.
3. Slowly fill engine with oil until the dipstick reads full. Stop

filling occasionally to check oil level.

4. Install dipstick and finger tighten securely.
5. Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.

2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE



NEVER fill fuel tank indoors. Avoid spilling

gasoline on hot engine. Allow engine to cool

entirely before adding fuel. NEVER fill fuel tank

when engine is running or hot. DO NOT light

a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.

Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are

EXPLOSIVE.



Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room

for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled,

fuel can over flow onto a hot engine and cause

fire or an explosion. Wipe up any spilled fuel

immediately.

1. Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do

not use premium gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Fill to

bottom of screen filter. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 9).

4. 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. Fuel 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 the "Storage" section. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.

2.7 STARTING PULL START ENGINES



Never start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged into the receptacles AND

devices turned on.

1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before

starting the engine.

2. Make sure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed 15° in

any direction).

3. OPEN the Fuel Shut-off Valve (Figure 10).
4. Turn engine RUN/STOP switch to ON position (Figures 2C or

11).

5. Slide engine choke to the LEFT to FULL CHOKE position

(Figure 12).

6. To start engine, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly

until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.

7. When engine starts, move choke knob to 1/2-CHOKE position

until engine runs smoothly and then fully into RUN position.

If engine falters, move choke back out to 1/2-CHOKE position

until engine runs smoothly and then to RUN position.

NOTE:

If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever

to FULL CHOKE and repeat starting instructions.
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” carefully.
