CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Check the oil level daily when the generator is running for an
extended period of time.
1. If the generator is running during a utility outage, turn off
all household loads.
2. Turn the engine control module switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth and
completely reinsert it into the dipstick tube. See figure 12,
