Fuel tank capacity:2.6L
Gasoline containing alcohol
If you decide to use a generator containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it's octane
rating is at least as high as that recommended by us. There are two types of
gasohol: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use
gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing
methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5%
methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE
nFuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use
of fuel that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. We cannot
endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their
suitability is as yet incomplete.
nBefore buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel
contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a gasoline that
contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, replace it by a
gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.

High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main
fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate
the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have
your authorized dealer perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 305m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The affect of
altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is
made.
5. Move the choke lever to the RUN position after the engine warms up.

6.GENERATOR USE
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be
made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from
the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may
electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a
power outage, and when utility power is restored,the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be
grounded.Connect a length of heavy wire between the generator's ground
terminal and an external ground source.
CAUTION
Maximum power would be available for the first 30 minutes.
For continuous operation,do not exceed the rated power. In either case, the
total wattage of all appliances con-nected must be considered.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause the
damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is intended
for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
When an extension cable is required,be sure to use a tough rubber
sheathed flexible cable. (IEC245DV equivalent)
