CAUTION, THE ENGINE IS
SHIPPED WITH NO ENGINE OIL.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, FILL
WITH OIL!
Pre-Start Up
1) Check engine oil level.
a) Generator should be on level ground
to ensure proper reading.
b) Remove oil dipstick and wipe with
clean cloth (3).
c) Insert dipstick back into the neck
until the threads meet. (It is not
necessary to re-thread the dipstick.)
d) Remove the dipstick again and view
the oil level (between 1 and 2).
e) If the oil is below the hatched area
on the dipstick, then oil must be
added. Be careful not to fill past the
hatched section on the dipstick. Too
little or too much oil will not lubricate
the engine properly and will cause
serious engine wear or failure.
f) Replace the dipstick and screw
down lightly.
2) Check
Fuel
Level
a) Remove Fuel Cap.
b) View the fuel level.
c) Fill the fuel tank up to 1 inch below
the top of the fuel neck.
d) Replace the fuel cap.
3) Check Air Filter
a) Unclip the upper and lower retaining
clips to remove the outer case of the
cleaner.
b) Remove the outer filter element and
inner pre-cleaner element.
c) Separate the filter element from the
foam pre-cleaner.
d) Clean the foam pre-cleaner two
times with kerosene or other
approved cleaner. Apply a light coat
of engine oil on the pre-cleaner and
squeeze it out.
e) If the filter needs replacing, contact
GPP or your local GPP service
dealer.
