WARNING : INJURY
Always turn the starter switch to the STOP position and stop the engine, then
close and lock OPERATION PANEL DOOR before checking or maintaining
the engine or any equipment.
Do not open the inspection door when the starter switch is in the AUTO or
START position. It may get caught in rotating parts such as cooling fans and
fan belts.
CAUTION : BURNS
Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot.
CAUTION : FIRE
Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel or oil.

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 at least five minutes or more after stopping the engine 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.
