3. Using a funnel, add up to 600 ml of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level at every use and add as needed.
MAX
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.
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.

CAUTION
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 10W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.

Add Fuel: Petrol

Petrol vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO
NOT pump petrol directly into the generator. Use an approved
container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
Never use a petrol container, fuel tank, or any other fuel item
that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always keep fuel away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded petrol with a minimum octane
rating of 85 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT mix oil with petrol.
1. Remove the fuel 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.
