The manufacturer does not recommend
using any gasoline containing alcohol (such
as “gasohol”). If using any gasoline contain-
ing alcohol, it must not contain more than
10 percent ethanol, and it must be removed
from the generator during storage. Do NOT
use any gasoline containing methanol. If
using gasoline with alcohol, inspect more
frequently for fuel leaks and other abnor-
malities.
1.5.2 FUEL CONSUMPTION
Model No Load 1/2 Load Full Load
004709-0 0.24 0.35 0.55
Fuel consumption is in gal/hr.
1.5.3 ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with American Petroleum
Institute (API) Service Classification SF, SG or SH. The recom-
mended oil weights include the following:
During summer months: SAE 30. An acceptable substitute is •
SAE 10W-30.
During winter months: SAE 5W-30. DO NOT USE SAE •
10-W40.
Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately 800 mL or .84
U.S. quarts. Do NOT use special additives. See sections "Checking
the Engine Oil Level" and "Changing the Engine Oil and/or Oil Filter"
for oil level check and fill procedures.

* Maximum wattage and current are subject to, and limited by, such factors as
fuel Btu content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine condition, etc.. Maximum
power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and will
also decrease about 1% for each 6° C (10° F) above 16° C (60° F) ambient
temperature.
1.5.6 EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE PERIOD
For non-handheld engines the Emissions Compliance Period
referred to on the Emissions Compliance Label indicates the num-
ber of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to
meet Federal emission requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement, Category C=125 •
hours, B=250 hours, and A=500 hours.
For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C=250 hours, B=500 •
hours, and A=1000 hours.
1.5.7 EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS INFORMATION
This generator is subject to evaporative emission standards which
have been implemented by the California Air Resource Board
(CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If this
generator is offered for sale in the state of California, it must be
covered by a CARB evaporative Executive Order. If this generator
is offered for sale to the final consumer in any other state, certified
low-permeation fuel line must be used to supply fuel to the genera-
tor as required by EPA.
Anyone who installs or configures a fuel system to supply this
generator with gasoline is required to comply with all applicable
evaporative emission regulations. If this generator is configured
such that it shares the primary fuel system of a vehicle in which it
is installed, reduced certification requirements may apply. See the
CARB guidance document MAC 05-05, located at http://www.arb.
ca.gov/msprog/macs/mac0505/mac0505.pdf for further details. If
this generator is installed such that it uses a dedicated fuel system,
detailed evaporative emission requirements apply; contact a repu-
table fuel system manufacturer to purchase a complete fuel sys-
tem certified for use with this generator, or consult the California
Code of Regulations if you wish to obtain certification on your
own. See the installation instructions in this manual for connecting
fuel system vapor lines to the engine.
