Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least three feet of clearance on all
sides to ensure adequate cooling.

Safety Rules
DANGER
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and
extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration.
When adding or removing fuel
Turn the engine off and let it cool for at least two
minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen
the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated
area.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

off position and the fuel tank is empty.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the engine:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand
and arm towards the engine faster than you can
let go.

traumatic amputation or laceration.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly
until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to

Assembly
Assembly
This unit ships from our factory without oil.
It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil
before operation.
Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly filled with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Damage
to the generator as a result of failure to follow
these instructions will void your warranty.

3. Add 0.63 qt (0.6 L) of oil and replace oil
fill cap/dipstick.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as
needed.
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼” below the top of
the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running
or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
CAUTION
