Checking/Adding Fuel - Ryobi RIG2000PC Manuel D'utilisation

LUBRICANT
The oil indicator will light and the engine will automatically
shut off whenever the lubricant level in the engine becomes
low. The engine may not be restarted until suffi cient
engine lubricant has been added to the generator.
NOTE: It is normal for the indicator lights to illuminate and/
or blink each time the engine is started. Once the engine
warms up, the lights should default to the conditions
indicated above.
CHECKING/ADDING LUBRICANT
See Figure 3.
CAUTION
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
fi lled with oil will result in equipment failure. Engine
lubricant has a major infl uence on engine performance
and service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE
10W-30 is recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor
lubricant that meets or exceeds the requirements for
API service classifi cation SJ.
NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will
damage the engine and should not be used.
■ Loosen the screws at the side of the engine cover.
Remove cover and set aside.
■ Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
■ Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-
thread.
■ Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level.
Lubricant level should fall between the minimum and
maximum marks on the dipstick.
■ If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level
rises between the minimum and maximum marks on
the dipstick.
■ Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
USING FUEL STABILISER
■ Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time.
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the
usable life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from
forming that can clog the fuel system. Follow fuel
stabilizer manufacturer's directions for correct ratio of
stabilizer to fuel.
■ Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank
by using a gas can or other approved fuel container
and shaking gently to combine.
NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being
added to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with
gasoline before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel

ETHANOL FUELS
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater
than 10% ethanol) in the product. It is a violation of
federal law and will damage the product and void your
warranty.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting
from the use of an ethanol fuel containing more than the
percentage of oxygenates stated below are not covered
under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85
are not.

CHECKING/ADDING FUEL

See Figure 4.
Gasoline and its vapours are highly fl ammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and
property damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep
away from ignition sources, handle outdoors only,
do not smoke while adding fuel, and wipe up spills
immediately.
When adding fuel to the generator, make sure the product
is sitting on a fl at, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
generator cool before adding gas. Always fi ll the fuel tank
outdoors with the machine turned off.

NOTE: Always use unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher. Never use old, stale, or
contaminated unleaded fuel, and do not use an oil/fuel
mixture. Do not allow dirt or water into the fuel tank. Do
not use E85 fuel.
STARTING THE ENGINE

stabilizer directly into the generator's fuel tank.
Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
CAUTION
WARNING
Remove the fuel cap.
Fill the fuel tank to 25 mm below the top of the fuel
neck.
Replace and secure the fuel cap.
