PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE
Using this Generator for the First-Time
STOP!
The following section describes the required steps for preparing this generator for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps
can damage this generator and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call
1-866-460-9436 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service.
If this generator is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation:
Step 1 - Add Oil
THIS GENERATOR REQUIRES AT LEAST 13.5 OUNCES OF OIL (SAE10W-30) TO RUN.
ADD OIL UNTIL IT IS ALMOST OVERFLOWING. THE LOW-OIL SENSOR IS VERY SENSITIVE AND THE ENGINE
WILL NOT RUN IF THE OIL IS LOW. START WITH 13.5 OUNCES, THEN ADD MORE UNTIL ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
TROUBLESHOOTING: IF THE GENERATOR WILL NOT START, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS
COMPLETELY FULL AND ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
This generator requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
When new from
the package, this generator contains no oil in the engine crankcase. Add oil before operating this generator for the first time. When replenishing oil
for subsequent use of this generator, always determine that this generator has the correct quantity of oil.
To add oil to the engine crankcase:
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 1 below.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
When the engine crankcase is full and almost overflowing, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as shown in Figure 2.
4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap and close the oil access panel.
