instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
This engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled with
synthetic oil (SAE 5W-30). This allows for system operation in
a wide range of temperature and climate conditions. Before
starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is
serviced as described in the engine operator's manual.
The use of synthetic oil does not alter the required oil change
intervals described in the engine operator's manual.
