Engine Maintenance - Craftsman 580.675610 Operator's Manual

StatStation™
The StatStation™ displays the nominal load on generator
based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance
reminder.
Wattage Monitor
The LED display will indicate 0-95% nominal load.The display
will flash at 90% nominal load and above. If above 95%
nominal load the display will flash "OL" (meaning 'overload').
When load returns to within normal range, the display will
automatically resume nominal load indication. See the table
below for operation functions.
Maintenance Reminder
The LED will display certain codes to alert you to check oil,
change oil, check or replace air filter and check or replace
spark plug. The following codes will display:
Frequency Range
62.5-62.0
61.9-61.5
61.4-61.0
60.9-60.5
60.4-60.0
59.9-59.5
59.4-59.0
58.9-58.5
58.4-58.0
57.9-57.5
57.4-57.0
57.0 and below
"C1" Check oil at 8 hour increments
"C2" Change oil at 50 hour increments
"C3" Check or replace air filter at 25 hour increments
"C4" Check or replace spark plug at 100 hour increments
Pushing "Reset" will set the indicated code timer to zero.
If nominal load and maintenance codes appear
simultaneously, the LED shall display, alternately, the
nominal load and code as follows:
The code will display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The
load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable oil at all
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
SAE 30: 40°F and higher (5°C and higher) is good for all
purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-30: 0 to 100°F (-18 to 38°C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This viscosity improves cold weather
starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80°F
(27°C).
*Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120°F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at all temperatures as well as improved
starting with less oil consumption.
5W-30: 40°F and below (5°C and below) is recommended for
winter use and works best in cold conditions.

WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR
GENERATOR
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the table below:
