6. Inspection prior to operation
Attention!
Check whether the device is standing horizontally and the main switch is on.
1. Check the oil level of the engine
Attention!
The generator is delivered without oil. Please pay attention to the following advices for the choice of
the oil.
The motor oil has great influence on the lifetime and performance of the engine. Two-stroke oils may
damage the engine and are therefore not recommended.
Use a four-stroke oil that fulfils or exceeds the requirement of the API-classification SL. Always check
the APISERVICE-label on the oil container for the letters SL.
We recommend SAE 10W-30 for daily use for all temperatures, better SAE 10W-40.
Loosen the screw on the left side panelling and take off the cover.
Screw off the cap of the oil inlet nozzle and wipe off gauge stick. Insert the gauge stick into the inlet
opening without screwing it tight to check the oil level.
In case of low oil level, refill with recommended oil until the oil level reaches the edge of the inlet
nozzle.
Attention!
Operation at too low oil level can destroy the generator.
