Operation Location of Portable Generator to 

REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE 

WARNING!

   Exhaust heat / gases could ignite 

combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank 

causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury. 

Portable generator must be at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from any 

structure, overhang, trees, windows, doors, any wall 

opening, shrubs, or vegetation over 30.5 cm (12 in.) in 

height. Do not place portable generator under a deck or 

other type of structure that may confine airflow. Smoke 

alarm(s) must be installed and maintained indoors 

according to the manufacturer’s instructions/

recommendations. Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect 

smoke. Do not place portable generator in manner other 

than shown.

Step 2: Oil and Fuel

Oil Recommendations   Figure

4

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty 

Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality 

detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF 

or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity 

for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity 

for the outdoor temperature range expected.

*  Below 4°C (40°F) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

**  Above 27°C (80°F) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil 

consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

Checking/Adding Engine Oil   Figure

5

Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least 

every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

  1.  Make sure generator is on a level surface.

  2.  Clean area around oil fill (

1, J

) and remove oil fill 

cap/dipstick.

  3.  Verify oil is at Full mark (

5, A

) on dipstick.

  4.  If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to Full 

mark on dipstick. Do not overfill.

  5.  Replace and tighten oil fill cap/dipstick.

NOTICE

Do not attempt to crank or start engine before 

before it has been properly serviced with recommended 

oil. This could result in an engine failure.

CAUTION   

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin 

contact with used motor oil and fuel. Used motor 

oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in 

certain laboratory animals. Thoroughly wash exposed 

areas with soap and water.

  KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON’T 

POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN 

USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

Add Fuel   Figure

6

Fuel must meet these requirements:

  •  Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 

87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).

  •  Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol content is acceptable.

NOTICE

Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to 

run on alternate fuels. Do not use unapproved gasoline 

such as E15 and E85. Use of unapproved fuels could 

damage generator and voids warranty.

See 

High Altitude

 for 1,524 m (5,000 ft.) and above.

WARNING!

   Fuel and its vapors are 

extremely flammable and explosive 

which could cause burns, fire or 

explosion resulting in death or serious injury. Do not 

refuel during operation. Turn engine off and let it cool at 

least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Fill fuel tank 

outdoors. Do not spill fuel. Keep fuel away from sparks, 

open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources. 

Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for 

cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary. Do not light a 

cigarette or smoke. Do not pour water on generator to 

put out fire. Only use a extinguisher rated for flammable 

liquids and electrical systems such as a powder 

extinguisher. Follow the instructions provided by fire 

extinguisher manufacturer before use. This generator is 

not for use in explosive atmospheres.
  1.  Slowly remove fuel cap to relieve pressure in tank.

 2. Slowly add unleaded fuel (

A

) to fuel tank (

B

). Be 

careful not to fill above lip (

C

). This allows adequate 

space for fuel expansion.

  3.  Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate 

before starting engine.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 1524 m (5,000 ft.), a minimum 

85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON) fuel is acceptable. To remain 

emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. 

Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased 

performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased 

emissions.

See an Authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for high 

altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine 

at altitudes below 762 m (2,500 ft.) with the high altitude 

kit is not recommended.

Transporting

When transporting equipment with a vehicle or trailer, 

turn fuel shutoff valve to OFF (0) position. Do not tip 

engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.

Cleaning

Daily or before use, look around and underneath 

generator for signs of oil or fuel leaks. Clean any 

accumulated debris. Keep area around muffler free from 

any debris.

  •  Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.

  •  Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

NOTICE

Do not insert any objects through cooling slots.
