Checking the Engine Oil

The motor of this generator is not filled with oil
when shipped.
Prior to starting the motor ensure the crank case is
filled with SAE #30 4 stroke oil (capacity 1100ml).
Damage to the motor is not covered under warranty
if the motor is run without oil.
1. Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the
generator is put on a stable and level surface,
ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.
2. Remove the oil filler cap (8) by rotating the cap
anti-clockwise and inspect to see the oil level.
3. If the oil level is below the lower level line, refill
with SAE #30 4 stroke oil to the upper level line.
NOTE: Do not screw in the oil filler cap (8) when
checking oil level, simply insert and pull the cap
straight out.
4. If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured,
ensure you change the oil. Refer to the 'Engine
Oil Replacement' section for instructions.
NOTE: This motor is fitted with a low oil sensor. If
the oil level is too low, the motor will stop operating
or the motor will not start. It is advised to check the
oil level each time the generator is used. When the
oil level is too low, the motor will stop operating or
the motor will not start. It is advised to check the oil
level each time the generator is used.
