NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash, down a drain or on the ground. Put oil in a sealed container and contact your local
recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
To add oil to the engine crankcase:
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 11 above.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE-30 oil is recommended for general use. When
the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as shown in Figure 13.

Air Filter Maintenance
Routine maintenance of the air filter helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor.
Occasionally verify that the air filter is free of excessive dirt. The air filter will require more frequent cleaning when operating this generator in
extremely dusty areas.
1. Unhinge the clasps at the top and bottom of the air filter cover as shown in Figure 14.
2. Remove the sponge-like elements from the casing.
3. Wipe the dirt from inside the empty air filter casing.
4. Wash the sponge-like elements in household detergent and warm water. Do not use gasoline or a flammable solvent.
5. Allow the sponge-like elements to dry thoroughly.
6. Soak the dry sponge-like elements in engine oil. Squeeze out any excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial startup if too much oil is left in
the air filter.
7. Replace the sponge-like elements in the air filter casing (the fine element first) and replace the cover.
