DANGER
Carbon monoxide.
The application of a generator in buildings can
LEAD TO DEATH WITHIN MINUTES. The exhaust fumes from the generator
contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is an invisible odorless poison. If the exhaust
fumes of the generator can be smelled, CO is being inhaled. Even if no exhaust
fumes can be smelled, CO could still be being inhaled.
1. Read and understand the safety and operator's manual at the start of these
operating instructions.
2. Read and understand all statements of the safety and warning signs.
3. Check:
•
Engine oil level.
•
Fuel level.
•
State of the air cleaner.
•
Tight fit of the outer bracket.
•
State of the fuel lines.
Adding engine Oil
The generator has been shipped without engine oil. DO NOT add fuel or start the
engine before adding engine oil.
NOTE : In order to add motor oil you will need to remove the side panel from the
unit.
(Figure 2)
Place the generator on a level surface. DO NOT tilt the generator while adding oil.
It can cause you to overfill the oil and/or cause the oil to leak into areas in which it
is not intended.
Remove the oil filler cap (seen in figure 2).
