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 oil to avoid engine damage.

8-2. Checking Coolant
CAUTION : BURNS
Do not open the radiator cap immediately after stopping the engine. Do so
will result in steam gushing out.
Hot steam gushes out from the coolant sub-tank if the generator overheats.
Do not touch the coolant subtank.
Check that the subtank coolant level is in between FULL and LOW. If the subtank
coolant is lower than the LOW level, add coolant to the subtank and radiator.
