ASSEMBLY
Your generator requires some assembly. It must be properly
serviced with fuel and oil before operation.
Unpacking
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the generator.
3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from top to bottom. Fold
each side flat on the ground to provide a surface area to work
with the generator.
Remove Shipping Support Brackets
To protect the generator during shipping, support brackets have
been installed between the engine and frame. These brackets
MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE adding oil or gasoline to the
generator.
NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to run generator without first removing the
shipping support brackets. Damage to the generator as a result
of not removing the brackets will void the warranty.
1.
BEFORE
filling the engine with oil or gasoline, tip the
generator onto its recoil end. Tip onto the flattened cardboard
box the generator came in or other protective surface so as to
not scratch the frame.
2. Remove the bolts from the orange support brackets. Bolts
and brackets can be discarded.
3. Tip the generator upright.
Add Engine Oil
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil.
Damage to the generator as a result of failing to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
NOTICE

that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
