Setup should be done every time you start up your generator, these quick checks will
ensure you get the most out of your generator.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the
generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel
spillage may result. Keep away from moving parts while the generator is
running. The generator is air-cooled and may be damaged if ventilation
is inadequate.

2. Inspect engine oil:
3. Take out the oil filler cap and clean the dipstick.
4. Check the oil level by reinserting the oil filler cap without rotating it. Remove
the oil filler cap and examine the oil level. If the oil level is at or below the
minimum oil level, refill the oil to the maximum oil level mark.
5. Reinsert the oil filler cap and tighten securely.
