INITIAL OIL FILL

THIS GENERATOR HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT
OIL. Do not attempt to crank or start engine before it has
been properly serviced with recommended oil. Failure to
add engine oil before starting will result in serious engine
damage.
Use of 2-stroke/cycle oil or other unapproved oil types
can cause severe engine damage that is not covered
under warranty.
The included, recommended oil type for typical use is
10W-30 engine oil. If running the generator in extreme
temperatures, refer to the following chart.
