Assembly
Your generator requires some assembly.
This unit ships from our factory without oil.
It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil
before operation.

the Shipping Carton
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat
surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton
except the generator.

from top to bottom. Fold each side flat
on the ground to provide a surface area
to install the wheel kit and support leg.

Add Engine Oil

CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly filled with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Damage
to the generator as a result of failure to follow
these instructions will void your warranty.
1. Place the generator on a flat, level
surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add 0.63 qt (0.6 L) of oil and replace oil
fill cap/dipstick. See "Specifications"
page in the manual for oil
recommendations based on operating
conditions.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as
needed.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low-oil-shutoff and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer
to the Maintenance section for recommended
service intervals.
