CHECKING THE OIL

The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running 
with low oil. Nonetheless, the oil level should be checked before each use to 
ensure that the engines crankcase has sufficient lubrication. To check the oil 
level:

1. Make sure the generator is on a 

level surface, and open the front 
panel

2. Locate the oil filler/dipstick cap. 

Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap.

3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off the 

stick on the inside of the cap.

4. Insert the dipstick as if you were 

reinstalling the cap then remove 
again. 

• There should now be oil on the 

dipstick. If there is no oil on or oil 
only at the very end of the dipstick, you should add oil until the 
engine crankcase is filled (when the oil level has reached the lower 
lip of the oil fill opening).

5. Make sure that you refit and secure the oil filler cap tightly. Close the front 

panel when finished.
