8-1. Checking Engine Oil
To check the engine oil, keep the equipment in leveled position, remove the oil level
indicator and wipe so that no oil remains, and then re-insert the dipstick fully. Prior to
starting the engine, make sure to fill the engine oil through the oil filler until it reaches the
MAX line.
< Note >
Wait approximately five minutes or more after stopping the engine or adding oil before checking
the oil level again.
An accurate oil level reading cannot be obtained if the generator is not placed in leveled position.
Do not overfill with oil to avoid engine damage.
