3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Be sure to check the generator on a level surface
with the engine stopped.
Using nondetergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could
shorten the engine's service life.
Use a high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or
exceed U.S.automobile manufacturer's requirements for API Service Classification SG,
SF. SAE10W-30 is recommended by us.
Select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area.
3.1 Check the engine oil level
Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the oil level by
inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in. (See Fig.3)
The engine may be damaged while running it at low oil level.
The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil
level regularly.
3.2 Check the fuel level.
If the fuel level is low, refuel the fuel tank until the level as specified.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap seurely.
Use unleaded 87 octane regular grade gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends
exhaust system life.
