EXTENSION CORD SELECTION CHART

CURRENT
(AMPS)
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires. Use only high quality, well-insulated, three-wire, grounded cord sets to connect equipment to
the generator.
OPERATING THE GENERATOR
Before operating the generator, the engine oil level will need to be checked and gasoline will need to be added to the
unit.

ADDING ENGINE OIL

1. Place the generator on a firm, level surface.
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. Clean the area
around the oil fill cap and wipe the dipstick
clean.
3. Insert the dipstick in oil filler neck. Do not thread
into filler neck. Remove the dipstick, and check
the oil level.
3. If oil is needed, carefully add oil to the bottom of
the oil filler neck, below the threads. While
filling, stop to check oil level. DO NOT overfill.
4. Insert oil fill cap/dipstick and secure tightly.
5. Check engine oil level before each use of the generator.

ADDING GASOLINE

1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Carefully fill the fuel tank with UNLEADED gasoline. DO NOT use premium gasoline. DO NOT overfill. Allow
approximately 1/2" tank space for fuel expansion.
DO NOT fill fuel tank near an open flame, while smoking, or while engine is running. DO NOT fill tank
in an enclosed area with poor ventilation, doing so may result in serious personal injury or death.
3. Tighten gasoline cap after filling the fuel tank.
