pre-Start Checks
Inspect engine and equipment looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts before set up and starting.
If any problems are found, do not use equipment until fixed properly.
Checking and Filling Engine Oil
NOTICE: Your Warranty is VOID if the engine's
crankcase is not properly filled with oil before
each use. Before each use, check the oil level.
Do not run the engine with low or no engine oil.
Running the engine with no or low engine oil
WILL permanently damage the engine.
1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.
2. Close the Fuel Valve.
3. On the back of the Generator, pull the Dipstick out,
and wipe its end off with a clean, lint free rag.
4. Reinsert the Dipstick fully and remove it to
check the oil level. The oil level should be
up to the full level as shown in Figure U.
5. If the oil level is at or below the low mark:
a. Clean the top of the yellow Oil Fill Cap
and the area around it.
b. Remove the Oil Fill Cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
c. Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level
is at the proper level. SAE 10W-30 oil is
recommended for general use.
(Table A: SAE Viscosity Grades on page 21 in
the Maintenance section shows other viscosities
to use in different average temperatures.)
6. Thread the Oil Fill Cap back in
and reinsert the Dipstick.
NOTICE: Do not run the engine with too little oil.
The engine will be permanently damaged.
