What type of fuel should I use for the Subaru RGV2800 generator?

Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using fuel with high ethanol content as it can damage the engine components.

How often should I change the oil in the Subaru RGV2800 generator?

Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, and then every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Use SAE 10W-30 oil for optimal performance.

What should I do if the generator won't start?

Check the fuel level, ensure the choke is in the correct position, and inspect the spark plug for any fouling. Also, verify that the air filter is clean and the fuel valve is open.

How can I maintain the Subaru RGV2800 generator for long-term use?

Regularly check and replace the spark plug, clean the air filter, and ensure the fuel system is clean. Store the generator in a dry place and use a fuel stabilizer if it will not be used for an extended period.

Can I run the Subaru RGV2800 generator in the rain?
