Step 2: Oil and Fuel

Oil Recommendations

   Figure

2

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

3

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,H

) and remove oil fill 

cap/dipstick.

  3.  Verify oil is at Full mark (

3,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. 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

4

Fuel must meet these requirements:

  •  Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 

87 octane.

  •  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 pressure washer 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. If fuel spills, wait until it 

evaporates before starting engine. 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.

  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 

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.

Step 3: Generator Start up   Figure

1

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use 

the following start instructions:

  1.  Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.

NOTICE

 Failure to operate the unit on a level surface 

may cause the unit to shut down.

  2.  Rotate fuel valve (

N

) to ON (I) position.

  3.  Move choke lever (

L

) to CHOKE ( ) position.

NOTICE

 For a warm engine, be sure choke lever is in 

RUN ( ) position.

  4.  Set engine switch (

B

) to ON (I) position.

  5.  Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight 

resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.

  6.  As engine warms up, slowly move choke lever to 

RUN ( ) position 

NOTICE

 This unit is equipped with a low oil protection 

device. Oil must be at proper level for engine to run. If 

the engine oil drops below a preset level, an oil switch 

will stop the engine. Check oil level with dipstick.
