Mixing Gasoline and Oil
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.
Notes: DO NOT mix gasoline and oil directly in the fuel tank
USE NMMA or TC-WII or TC-W3 or JASO FB or JASO FC classified oil.
• Make sure fuel container is outside and in a well ventilated area.
• Fill the approved, clean red gasoline container with ¼ of the recommended gasoline
amount.
• Add the required amount of oil to the gasoline.
• Tighten the cap on the fuel container.
• Shake vigorously to mix the gasoline and oil.
• Undo the fuel cap and add the remainder of the recommended fuel. Wipe away any spilled
fuel or oil.
Mixing Ratios: 32:1
• To 1 gallon gasoline, add 4 oz oil
• To 2 gallon gasoline, add 8 oz oil
• To 5 gallon gasoline, add 20 oz oil
Step 2 - Filling the Fuel Tank
WARNING:
This generator may emit highly
flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can
cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby
open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate near open flame.
• Do not smoke near generator.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the
top of the tank. Allow for expansion.
• Always check for spilled fuel before operating. Clean up any spilled fuel before
starting.
• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
• Before transporting, turn fuel valve to off position and disconnect spark plug wire.
1. Be sure generator is outdoors and in a well ventilated area.
2. Clean the area around the fuel fill cap and remove the fuel fill cap.
3. Using the approved red gasoline container with the gasoline and oil mixture, slowly add the
fuel to the tank. DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Leave space for expansion.
4. Replace the fuel fill cap and wipe up any spills.
