3. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on
top of the fuel tank.
4. Screw on the petrol cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.

Only use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of
85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
NEVER light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
NEVER mix oil and petrol.
NEVER overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4
mm) below the top of the tank to allow for petrol expansion.
NEVER pump petrol directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved container to transfer the petrol to the
generator.
NEVER fill tank indoors.
NEVER fill tank when the engine is running or hot Engines
needs at least 30mins to cool down before refilling any fuel..

Pouring petrol too fast through the fuel screen may result
in petrol splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.
CAUTION
WARNING
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blend petrol. When using ethanol-petrol blends there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-petrol blends can absorb more water than petrol
alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or
a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The
compromised petrol can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or potential
hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-petrol blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
petrol, improperly stored petrol, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacturer's warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the petrol supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in
electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features
For remote grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to
ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
Neutral Floating*
– Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame
and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin
connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is
not functional.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
– Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground
of the generator.
– The generator system ground connects lower frame
cross-member below the alternator. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.
* See your model's control panel for specified type of grounding.
