Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships from our
factory without oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil
before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999.
Please have your serial number and model number available.
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 Spacers
To protect the generator during shipping, support spacers have
been installed between the engine and frame. These spacers
MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE adding oil or gasoline to the
generator.
NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to run generator without first removing the
shipping support spacers. Damage to the generator as a result of
not removing the spacers will void the warranty.
1.
BEFORE
filling the engine with oil or gasoline, tip the
generator onto its side as shown. 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 spacers and
remove the spacers while lightly lifting the engine. Bolts and
spacers can be discarded.
3. Tip the generator upright.
Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
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.

The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing
that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
