Engine Fuel

15.

Reinstall the oil fill cap until fully tightened, center the

choke, and attach the back maintenance cover.

NOTE:

Dispose of used motor oil according to guidelines estab-

lished by your local or state government.

Engine Fuel

Before each use, fill the fuel tank with recommended fuel.

DO NOT OVERFILL.

General Fuel Information

Refill the fuel tank carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill

above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. Use unleaded gas-

oline with a pump octane rating of 87 or higher.

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting

dirt or water in the fuel tank. Always keep fuel strainer in

place while refueling.

Oxygenated Fuels

At certain times of the year, some U.S. locations may have

only oxygenated fuel available. Oxygenated fuel is

blended with alcohol or other additives to increase octane

quality, enhance combustion, and reduce exhaust emis-

sions. Some areas of the United States use oxygenated

fuels to help meet clean air standards.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, ensure pump octane rat-

ing is 87 or higher.

Some states (and provinces in Canada) require this infor-

mation to be posted on the fuel pump. If you notice unde-

sirable operating symptoms, switch to a conventional

unleaded gasoline.

FIGURE 28: Oil Fill Cap Installation

Fuel and fuel vapors are extremely flammable and

explosive under certain conditions.

• Refuel the generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated

area.

• NEVER fill the fuel tank while engine is running. Turn

generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel.

• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near genera-

tor or where gasoline is stored.

• NEVER overfill the fuel tank (no fuel should be in filler

neck). After refueling, be sure the fuel cap is closed

properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel

or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure

the area is dry before starting engine.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or

breathing vapor.

• Avoid body contact with any fuels, oil, and lubricants

used in the generator. If swallowed, seek medical treat-

ment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is

swallowed. For skin contact, wash with soap and water

immediately. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes

with clean water and seek medical attention.

NOTICE

Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful

not to spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by

spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
