500560-UK - 2800W RATED PORTAbLE GENERATOR
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
As general rule on a flat level surface oil is full when you
can visually see it on the middle/upper threads of the port.
DO NOT overfill otherwise it will cause degraded engine
performance and(or) damage to the engine resulting in
voiding any warranty.
MAX
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance
section for recommended service intervals.
A
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the
unit. During the break in period stay at or below 50% of the
running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also
cause engine speed to vary slightly and help seat piston
rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30
oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C)
temperatures.

Add fuel
y
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded petrol with a minimum
octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
y
volume.
NEVER mix oil and petrol, this is a four stroke engine and
requires separate oil and fuel.
1. Remove the petrol cap.
2. Slowly add petrol to the tank. Tank is full when petrol
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Petrol
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for petrol expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Petrol
can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if
overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of
the generator.
3. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on
top of the fuel tank.
Empty
4. Screw on the petrol cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
