Air Filter Maintenance
Change Engine Oil
Change engine oil per maintenance schedule.
If you are using your generator under extremely dirty
or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather,
change the oil more often.
CAUTION
Risk of burns. Allow engine to cool
before draining oil or coolant. Failure to
do so could result in death of serious
injury.
WARNING
NOTE:
Please use an approved container to catch and
recycle the used oil.
If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the
quantity of the engine oil is not sufficient, engine
damage will result and its life will be greatly
shortened.
Maximum oil capacity: 27.4 fl.oz (0.7L)
Check the engine oil level before each use or every 8
hours of operation.
1. Place the generator on a level surface and allow
the engine to cool for several minutes.
2. Turn knob and remove the oil access cover.
3. With a damp rag, clean around the oil dipstick.
4. Remove the oil dipstick.
