PREPARING THE UNIT
UNPACKING
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
THIS UNIT HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITH OIL. Failure to
maintain the engine oil at the proper level will result in
serious engine damage.
When you unpack your engine-generator set be sure to
remove all the information sheets and manuals from the
carton.
1. As you receive your unit, it is critical to check it for any
damage. If any damage is noted, it is always easiest to
refuse the shipment and let WINCO take care of the freight
claim. If you sign for the unit, the transfer of the ownership
requires that you file the freight claim
2. Before proceeding with the preparations of your new
generator for operation, take a couple of minutes to ensure
the unit you have received is the correct model and review
the specification pages in this manual to ensure that this
unit meets your job requirements.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to remove the shipping restraints will result in
damage to the unit.
A shipping restraint has been installed around an engine
and a generator end shock mount to avoid damage during
transit. Remove the shipping restraints by loosening the
top and bottom shock mount bolts. After loosening, the
restraint will slide out. Tighten the shock mount bolts.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, check the oil level. This unit was
shipped with oil. The engine normally holds 34.8 ounces
(1.2 quarts) of oil. When filling the crankcase, use the
dipstick to ensure that you do not over fill the crankcase.
The full oil level mark on the dipstick is depicted in the
following image.
Oil is added to the engine by removing the oil cap and
adding oil at this point. After filling the crankcase to the
proper level, be sure you properly tighten the oil fill cap.
NOTE: This engine generator must be on a level surface
before you check or add oil to the system.
The necessity of using the correct oil and keeping the
crankcase full cannot be overemphasized. Engine failures
resulting from inadequate or improper lubricant are
considered abuse and not covered by the generator or
engine manufacturer’s warranty.
OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for
the engines. Winco recommends our 5W-30 fully synthetic
oil to give you excellent protection in cold temperatures
while maintaining excellent performance in warmer
weather.

GASOLINE
When using gasoline, always use fresh, clean, unleaded
fuel. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline
with a minimum octane rating of 87 or higher. Gasoline
containing no more than 10% ethanol is accepted.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 or E85.
Do NOT mix oil in the gasoline. Use of unapproved
fuels will damage the engine components and void the
engine warranty.
Use of fuels with content of ethanol greater than shown
above, may cause starting and/or performance problems.
Always ensure that the fuel is clean and free of all debris.
WARNING: FIRE DANGER
Gasoline and its fumes are VERY explosive when
proper precautions are not taken.

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for
API service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the
API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the
letters SJ or later (or equivalent).
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
Start the engine and let it idle for 1 or 2 minutes. Stop the engine
and wait for 2 or 3 minutes.
Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe it clean.
Fully insert the oil level dipstick, then remove it to check the oil
level.
If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap, and fill with the
recommended oil to the upper limit mark on the oil level dipstick.
Reinstall the oil level dipstick and oil filler cap.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap, drain bolt and sealing washer.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain
bolt and new sealing washer, and tighten the drain bolt securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
Reinstall the oil filler cap and oil level dipstick securely.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop
the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check the oil level regularly.
With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
to the upper limit mark on the oil level dipstick.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited
Warranty.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s

SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 is recommended for general use. Use a full
synthetic 5W-30 for starting/operating temperatures between 5°F
( 15°C) and
13°F ( 25°C). Other viscosities shown in the chart
may be used when the average temperature in your area is within
the indicated range.
