STEP 1: MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL (50:1)
GASOLINE & OIL MIXING RATIO
50:1
• For 1 gallon gasoline, use 2.5 oz oil
• For 2 gallon gasoline, use 5 oz oil
• For 5 gallon gasoline, use 13 oz oil
To mix gasoline and oil:
1. Make sure the fuel container is outside and in a well venti-
lated area.
2. Fill the clean, approved gasoline-storage container with
1/4 of the desired gasoline amount. For example, if mixing 1
gallon of gas, add 1/4-gallon into the container. This allows
sufficient space inside the container for gasoline to mix with
oil. The remaining 3/4-gallon will be added later.
GENERATOR PREPARATION
WARNING: Never store generator with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building with potential sources
of ignition such as hot water tanks, space heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix gasoline and oil directly in the fuel tank; use a separate, approved gasoline-
storage and dispensing container.

The following section describes the necessary steps to prepare the generator for use. If you are unsure
about how to perform any of the steps please call [phone] M-F 8-5 CST for customer service. Fail-
ure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its life.
Oil Specifications:
Use one of the following classifications of high-
quality, 2-cycle engine oil:
• NMMA
• TC-W2
• TC-W3
• JASO FB
• FASO FC
3. Measure and add the required amount of oil to the gasoline according to the mixing ratio of 50:1 (e.g. if
mixing 1 gallon of gasoline, add 2.5 oz oil).
4. Tighten the cap on the fuel container.
5. Shake the container vigorously to mix the gasoline and oil.
6. Slowly unscrew the fuel cap, as pressure may have built up inside. Slowly removing the cap allows any
pressure to dissipate. Add the remaining 3/4 portion of fuel. Wipe away any spilled fuel or oil. Tighten the
cap to avoid getting dirt or water into the mixed fuel.
Gasoline Specifications:
• Use UNLEADED gasoline with a maximum of
10% ethanol (E10 gasoline for general use).
• Fuel must be fresh (within 30 days from
purchase), and clean. NEVER use gasoline
stored for long periods.
