3. Using a funnel, add up to 37.2 fl. oz. (1100 ml) of oil
(included) and replace oil fill cap/dipstick.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level at every use and add as needed.
MAX
OIL DIP STICK
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the
unit. During the break in period stay at or below 50% of the
running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also
cause engine speed to vary slightly and help seat piston
rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30
oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C)
temperatures.
Add Fuel: Gasoline
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume.
y b c
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended.
Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of
expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running
condition of the generator.
3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the
pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to
the generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
