OPERATION
5. Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of provided oil bottle into oil fill opening until oil reaches
upper limit "H" mark on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Overfilling could cause engine

7.Reinstall maintenance cover and tighten screws.
8.Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil
level maintained.
Low Oil Shutdown
The portable generator is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil level drops below the
minimum required level, a sensor will activate an internal switch stopping the engine. If the
engine shuts off and the oil level is within specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an
angle. Place portable generator on an even surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil
level may not be high enough to deactivate the internal low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is
completely full of oil to the upper limit (H). Do not operate engine until oil level issue is corrected.
