10. Attach handles (H) to brackets on generator frame as

shown, with 45 mm capscrews (J), flat washers (K),

nylon washers (L), and M8 lock nuts (M).

NOTE: DO NOT overtighten. Handles must be able to move

up and down freely.

11. Return generator to normal operating position (resting

on wheels).

12. To apply brakes, push down firmly on handle of both

clamps until it locks in the down position and engages

the wheels.

IMPORTANT: The generator is designed to be used on level

surfaces.

13. Loop handle pins (N) on generator frame just above

handle brackets.

14. Raise handles and insert handle pins to move

generator.

15. To release brakes, pull up on handle of both clamps

until it locks in the up position.

Add Engine Oil

1. Place generator on a flat, level surface.

2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.

NOTE: See the section Oil to review oil recommendations.

Verify provided oil bottle is correct viscosity for current

ambient temperature.

3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of

provided oil bottle into oil fill opening.

NOTICE

Improper treatment of generator can damage it

and shorten its life.

• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been

properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an

engine failure.

4. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.

Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High

altitude use, see HIgh Altitude.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to

15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

NOTICE Avoid generator damage.

Failure to follow Operator’s Manual for fuel

recommendations voids warranty.

• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.

• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.

• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel

stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the

same. If you experience starting or performance problems

after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change

brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The

emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

Modifications).

1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline (A) to fuel tank (B). Be

careful not to fill above the baffle (C). This allows

adequate space for fuel expansion as shown.

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before

starting engine.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline 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 a Briggs & Stratton Authorized

Dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of

the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with

the high altitude kit is not recommended.

FUEL

TANK

8 BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe

burns or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before

removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in

tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
