FUEL
WARNING:
Gasoline is flammable and its vapor is explosive. To prevent fire or explosion,
follow the guidelines below:
• Keep fuel out of the reach of children.
• Refuel the generator in well-ventilated area. Do not refuel while engine is running or hot.
Disconnect all electrical loads and shut off the engine before refueling.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel vapors to expand. If you overfill the tank,
fuel can overflow onto the hot engine. This can cause fire or explosion. After refueling, tightly
close the fuel tank cap.
• Do not spill fuel. Fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If fuel spills, make sure that the area is dry before
starting the engine.
• Never smoke in the refueling area. Never allow open flames or sparks in area.
• Store fuel in an approved container. Store fuel in a well ventilated area free of open flames or
sparks.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
HITACHI Model
E100, E100 (3P)
NOTE:
The full level of fuel is the upper surface of the fuel filter.
Check the fuel gauge located on the top of the generator near the
fuel tank and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel carefully
to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel
strainer.
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
The engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or
contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel
tank.
Always keep the fuel strainer in place while refueling.
