3.0 Pre-Operation Inspection
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 rotating parts while the generator is running. The generator is
air-cooled and may be damaged if ventilation is inadequate.
3.1 - Engine Oil Check
1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Inspect engine oil:
• Take out the oil filler cap and clean the dipstick.
• 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 lower level, refill the oil to the upper limit mark. (10W30)
Reinsert the oil filler cap and tighten securely. (Refer to figure)
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-
detergent or vegetable oils are not recommended.
