Cleaning the Generator
Always try to use this generator in a cool dry place. If this generator becomes dirty, the exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth, soft brush,
vacuum and/or pressurized air.
Never clean this generator with a bucket of water and/or a hose as water can get inside and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Never use gasoline to clean parts of this generator.
Checking the Oil Level
Even though this generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from damage due to
low oil, it is important to check the oil level in the engine crankcase before each use to ensure that
there is a sufficient quantity.
To check the oil level:
1. Verify that this generator is shut down and on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 11.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if replacing the cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the
dipstick. If there is no oil on the dipstick, or oil is visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil
until the engine crankcase is filled (see “Changing/Adding Oil” in this section of this manual).
5. Confirm that the oil filler/dipstick cap is properly in place when finished verifying the oil level.
Changing/Adding Oil
The oil level in this generator should be checked before each use. (See Figure 10.) When the oil level is low, add oil until the level is sufficient to
operate this generator.
To drain the oil from this generator:
The oil should be changed after the first 20 hours of operation. The oil should then be changed every 6 months, or for every 100 hours of use time,
or when it has become contaminated with water and/or dirt.
1. Place a bucket underneath this generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a 12 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug located on the crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap as illustrated in Figure 12.
3. Allow all the oil to drain from this generator.
4. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 12 mm wrench.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash, down a drain or on the ground. Put oil in a sealed container and contact your local
recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
