CPG4000DHY-DF-UK - 3500W DUAL FUEL OPEN FRAME INVERTER GENERATOR
Add Engine Oil
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil.
Damage to the generator as a result of failing to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing
that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
The recommended oil type for typical use is 10W-30
automotive oil.
If running generator in extreme temperatures, refer to the
following chart for recommended oil type.

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.
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
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: Gasoline
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume. y b c
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
