Step 2 - Add Gasoline
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental
damage.
To add gasoline:
To ensure that this generator runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. Unleaded
gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system.
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3. Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the upper limit
line. The fuel tank capacity for this ACDelco Model AC-G0005 6500 Surge Watts / 6000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator is 6.5
gallons (24.6 L). The fuel gauge, located on the top of this generator, indicates how much gasoline is currently in the fuel tank. NOTE: Because
gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4. Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
