Wattagereferenceguide; Beforestarting The Generator; Adding Engineoil - Generac Power Systems GP7500E-5943-5 Owner's Manual

* Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
three times more watts of power for starting than for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
such motors. Make sureto allowfor high startingwattagewhen
selectingelectrical devicesto connect to the generator:
1. Figurethe watts neededto start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of alt other connected
loads.
The WattageReferenceGuide is providedto assist in determining
how many items the generatorcan operateat one time.
NOTE:
All figures are approximate. See data label en appliance for
wattage requirements.

2.7 BEFORE STARTING T HEGENERATOR
Prior to operatingthe generator,engine oil and gasoline will need
to be added,as follows:
2.7.1 ADDING ENGINE O/L
All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API)
Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select
the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating
temperature(also see chart).
* Above40° F,use SAE30
* Below 40° F and down to 10° F,use 10W-30
* All temperatures,use synthetic 5W-30

ACAUTION!
,_ Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine
failure.
1. Place generatoron a levelsurface (not to exceed 15° in any
direction).
2. Cleanarea around oil fill and remove oil fill cap and dipstick.
3. Wipe dipstick clean.
4. Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil flit opening until it
reaches the fult mark. Stop filling occasionally to check oil
level. Be careful net te ever fill.
5. Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
6. Checkengine oil levelbefore starting eachtime thereafter.
