FILLED WITH OIL AT THE FACTORY, SO BE

SURE TO FILL IT BEFORE OPERATING THE

ENGINE.

Pre-Operation

FUELING

To fill with oil:

1. Level the engine to ensure accurate

inspection and to prevent overfilling.

2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.

3. Fully insert the dipstick, then remove

it to check the oil level.

NOTE: When checking the oil be sure the

engine is level.

4. If the oil level is low, remove the

oil filler cap, and fill to the upper

limit mark on the dipstick with the

recommended oil.

5. Reinstall the dipstick and filler cap.

NOTE: Running the engine with a low

oil level can cause engine damage.

The Oil Alert system (applicable types)

will automatically stop the engine before

the oil level falls below the safe limit.

However, to avoid the inconvenience of

an unexpected shutdown, always check

the engine oil level before startup.

EXPLOSIVE FUEL!

GASOLINE IS

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND ITS

VAPORS CAN EXPLODE IF IGNITED.

STORE GASOLINE ONLY IN APPROVED

CONTAINERS, IN WELL VENTILATED,

UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND AWAY

FROM SPARKS OR FLAMES.

DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE

ENGINE IS HOT OR RUNNING, SINCE

SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE IF IT COMES

IN CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS OR SPARKS

FROM IGNITION. DO NOT START THE

ENGINE NEAR SPILLED FUEL.

NEVER USE GASOLINE AS A CLEANING

AGENT.

DO NOT OVERFILL THE

FUEL TANK, LEAVE

ROOM FOR THE FUEL TO EXPAND.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Purchase gasoline in small quantities and

store in clean, approved containers.

• To minimize gum deposits in your fuel

system and to insure easy starting,

do not use gasoline left over from

the previous season.

• Do not add oil to the gasoline.

FUEL TYPE

• For best results use only clean, fresh,

unleaded gasoline with a pump

sticker octane rating of 87 or higher.

• Unleaded gasoline is recommended as

it leaves less combustion chamber

deposits.

Gasoline/Alcohol Blends:

Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol,

90% unleaded gasoline by volume) is

approved, as a fuel. Other gasoline/

alcohol blends are not approved.

Gasoline/Ether Blends:

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)

and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a

maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are

approved as a fuel. Other gasoline/ether

blends are not approved.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

SHOULD ONLY

BE DONE BY AN

AUTHORIZED DEALER.

HIGH ALTITUDE

At high altitude, the standard carburetor

air/fuel mixture will be too rich.

Performance will decrease, and fuel

consumption will increase. A very rich

mixture will also foul the spark plug and

cause hard starting. Operation at an

altitude that differs from that at which

this engine was certified, for extended

periods of time, may increase emissions.

High altitude performance can be

improved by specific modifications to the

carburetor. If you always operate your

generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet

(1,500 meters), have your dealer perform

this carburetor modification. This engine,

when operated at high altitude with

the carburetor modifications for high

altitude use, will meet each emission

standard throughout its useful life.Even

with carburetor modification, engine

horsepower will decrease about 3.5%

for each 1,000-foot (300-meter) increase

in altitude. The effect of altitude on

horsepower will be greater than this if

no carburetor modification is made.

NOTE:When the carburetor has been

modified for high altitude operation,

the air/fuel mixture will be too lean for

low altitude use. Operation at altitudes

below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with

a modified carburetor may cause

the engine to overheat and result in

serious engine damage. For use at low

altitudes, have your servicing dealer

return the carburetor to original factory

specifications.

Operation

ELECTRIC START

NOTE: Read Operator’s Manual carefully

before operating this unit. Always

make sure the unit is level and properly

grounded. Check engine oil before

starting.

1. Turn the idle control switch to the OFF

position.
