Operation steps:
(1) Put the generator on a horizontal ground
surface.
(2) Take out and wipe off the oil dipstick.
(3) Insert fully the dipstick and then take it out
and check the oil level.
(4) If the oil level is close to or is lower than the
lower limit mark of the dipstick, then
screw off the oil filler cap and add
engine oil of qualified grade until the oil
level reaches the higher limit mark of the
dipstick (see Figure 1).
(5) Screw back and tighten the oil dipstick and oil filler cap.
Note:
engine oil is an important factor that
influences engine
’
s output power and service life.
Never use Non-detergent engine oil, diesel engine oil
or two-stroke engine oil because they will harm the
engine. Regular change of engine oil will help prolong
engine
’
s service life. The recommended engine oils
(see Figure 2) are SE or SF grade four-stroke
gasoline engine oils under API classification, or
should be SAE10W-3 that is equivalent to SG grade.
2. Fuel
(1) Screw off the fuel tank cap and check fuel level.
(2) If fuel level is too low, add fuel until its level reaches the shoulder of the fuel
strainer in the fuel filler hole (see Figure 3).
(3) When fuelling is completed, screw on and tighten the fuel tank cap.
·
Fuelling must be performed in a place with
good ventilation when the engine has
stopped. Remember: never smoke or light a fire.
·
Never spill the fuel out.
·
Avoid long or frequent contact with fuel or
inhalation of fuel vapor.
·
Never let children contact fuel.
Note:
The gasoline grade should be 90# or higher. Unleaded gasoline is recommended
because it produces less carbon deposit on the engine and spark plug, and can prolong
service life of the exhaust system.
Never use aged gasoline, contaminated gasoline or gasoline mixed with engine oil.
Never let dust or water into the fuel tank.
