ADD ENGINE OIL
1.Place generator on a flat, level surface.
2.Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow
oil fill cap/dipstick.
3.Wipe dipstick clean.
NOTE:
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
NOTE:
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be
the break-in period for the unit. During the break
in period stay at or below 50% of the running
watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the
load will also cause engine speed to vary and help
seat piston rings.
CAUTION
The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown.If
the oil level becomes lower than required,the
sensor will activate a warning device or stop the
engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting
at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an
even surface to correct this. If engine fails to
start, the oil level may not be sufficient to
deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the
sump is completely full of oil.

5.Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
6.Oil level should be checked prior to each use
or at least every 8 hours of operation
.
Keep oil
level maintained.
4.Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil fill opening to the
"H" mark on dipstick. Be careful do not
overfill. Overfilling with oil could cause the
engine to not start or hard starting.
