Not for

Reproduction

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a

fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is

not the same. If you experience starting or performance

problems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel

provider or change brands. This engine is certified to

operate on gasoline. The emission control system for this

engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline (D) to fuel tank

(E). Be careful not to fill above the baffle (F). This

allows adequate space for fuel expansion as

shown.

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate

before starting engine.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a

minimum 85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is

acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high

altitude adjustment is required. Operation without

this adjustment will cause decreased performance,

increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.

See an authorized dealer for high altitude adjustment

information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below

2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not

recommended.

Attach Negative Battery Cable

Your unit is equipped with electric start capability but

can be started manually. If you choose not to use the

The sealed battery on the generator pre–installed

except for the negative (black) battery cable.

To install:

1. Cut off tie wrap securing loose end of negative

(black) cable.

2. Using 8 mm or 5/16” wrenches, remove nut (A),

lock washer (B) and flat washer (C) on negative

battery terminal (—).

3. Slide negative battery cable (D) over screw (E) on

negative terminal.
