Changing/Adding Oil
The oil level in this generator should be checked before each use. There are TWO oil filler/dipsticks located on either side of the generator. Unscrew
either oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine. (See Figure 10). When the oil level is low in either of the oil filler/dipsticks, add oil until the level is
sufficient to operate this generator.
The oil capacity for this Generator engine is 30.4 ounces.
ADD OIL UNTIL IT IS ALMOST OVERFLOWING. THE LOW-OIL SENSOR IS VERY SENSITIVE AND THE ENGINE
WILL NOT RUN IF THE OIL IS LOW. START WITH 30.4 OUNCES, THEN ADD MORE UNTIL ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
TROUBLESHOOTING: IF THE GENERATOR WILL NOT START, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS
COMPLETELY FULL AND ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
To drain the oil from this generator:
The oil should be changed after the first 20 hours of operation. The oil should then be changed every 6months, or for every 100 hours of use time, or
when it has become contaminated with water and/or dirt.
1. Place a bucket underneath this generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a 17 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug located on the crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap. (See Figure 11.)
3. Allow all the oil to drain from this generator.
4. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 17 mm hex wrench.
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 10.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-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.
