Fuel Cap
Turn counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap
Fuel Cap Air Vent
The fuel cap is equipped with an air vent to stop fuel from flowing to the
carburetor. The Air Vent must be in the “ON” position to allow fuel to flow
so that the engine can run. Turn the Air Vent to the “OFF” position to stop
fuel flow.
Ground Terminal
The generator’s ground terminal must always be used to connect the
generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gage) copper wire. The wire
connects to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut
securely to ensure good connection. Grounding the generator protects you
from electric shock that results from a build up of static electricity or
undetected ground faults.
• Only operate generator on a level surface.
