Step 2: Oil and Fuel
Oil Recommendations Figure
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
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. Loosen three side maintenance cover screws and
remove cover (3).
3. Clean area around oil fill and remove dipstick.
4. Verify oil is at the full mark (5, A) (top hole) on
dipstick.
5. If needed, using oil funnel, slowly pour oil into oil fill
opening (4) to full mark (5, A) (top hole) on dipstick.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick
clean each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
6. Replace and tighten dipstick.
7. Replace maintenance cover and hand tighten screws.
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.
Add Fuel Figure
6 7
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of
91 RON (87 octane/87 AKI).
• 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 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 or move 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 (6, A) to relieve pressure in
tank.
2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful not
to fill above lip (7). 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, a minimum 89 RON
(85 octane/85 AKI) 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 with the high altitude kit is not
recommended.
Transporting
When transporting equipment with a vehicle or trailer,
turn engine switch to OFF (0) position. Do not tip engine
or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.
Low Oil Indicator
The low oil indicator system is designed to prevent
engine damage caused by not enough engine oil. If the
engine oil level drops below a preset level, the red LED
low oil indicator light comes on and an oil level switch will
stop the engine. If the engine stops or the red LED low oil
indicator light comes on when you pull the recoil handle,
check the engine oil level.
Step 3: Generator Start up Figure
NOTICE Always have QPT switch OFF (0) when starting
or stopping generator or when using DC USB ports.
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. Pull choke control (1, J) out to close choke (
NOTICE For a warm engine, be sure choke lever is in
RUN ( ) position.
3. Turn engine switch (1, K) to ON (I) position.
4. Grasp recoil handle (1, G) and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.
5. Open choke gradually as engine warms up by
pushing in on choke handle.
NOTICE If engine fails to start, push choke control in
and repeat step 4. If engine starts but fails to run, see
Low Oil Indicator.
QPT (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY) Figure
This feature improves fuel economy. When QPT switch
(1, D) is turned ON, the engine speed will increase
as electrical loads are connected, and decreased as
electrical loads are removed.
With the switch off, the engine will run at a higher speed.
