CATION:
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that
alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the generating set while in storage. Be sure to review the
instruction given in “Storage” section.
Gasoline/ Alcohol Blends: up to 10% alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a
fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved.
Effects of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not warrantable.
Allow the generating set to cool for at least two minutes before removing fuel cap when adding fuel.
Loose the fuel cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
6.Generating set grounding
