We ship the generator without oil in the engine crankcase. You must add oil before
starting engine. See engine owner’s manual for specific oil type.
CHECKING OIL LEVEL AND ADDING OIL
Follow steps below to check oil level. Make sure engine is level and stopped.
1. Remove either dipstick (see Figure 7). Wipe dipstick clean.
2. Insert dipstick into oil filler neck. Do not screw it in. Oil level should be at top
of filler neck. Oil should cover most of dipstick.
3. If level is low, fill to top of oil filler neck (see Figure 7). Only use oil recom-
mended in engine owner’s manual.
NOTE:
If oil level is too low, oil alert system will shutdown engine and prevent
engine from restarting.
