ENGINE OIL
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
1. Have your generator on a flat, level surface.
Stop generator from running. Allow to com-
pletely cool.
2. Remove the oil filter cap and wipe the dipstick
clean with a clean cloth.
3. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick in
the filter neck without screwing it in, then re-
move it. If the level is below the lower level line,
add the recommended oil until the level reaches
the upper mark on the dipstick.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
1. Have your generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid
and complete draining.
3. Place an oil pan or other suitable container for the oil
underneath the generator oil drain plug.
4. Remove the drain plug and filter cap and drain oil into
the oil pan or other suitable container.
5. Using a clean cloth, wipe off any dirt from the drain plug
and filter cap, then retighten the drain plug.
6. Refill with the recommended oil and check the oil level.
AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburettor. To
prevent poor engine performance or damage due to a
carburettor malfunction, service the air filter regularly.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for regular service
intervals.
1. Turn the generator OFF.
2. Remove the air filter cover by removing the two clips
on the cover.
3. Remove the air filter.
4. Wash the foam air filter using household soap and
warm water.
5. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
6. Soak the air filter in clean engine oil and squeeze out
the excess oil.
7. Reinstall the air filter and replace the air filter cover
and clips.
NOTE:
The engine will smoke during start-up if too much
oil is left in the air filter. Squeeze out all excess oil from
filter.
