5.2 Checking Engine Oil, Fuel and Coolant Level Before Starting
5.2.1 Engine oil
Ensure that the generator is on level ground before
checking engine oil level. Install the oil dipstick.
The correct level is between the lower and upper
limit marks on the dipstick.
Add engine oil if the level is below the lower limit.
Select the appropriate engine oil.
Open the access door, remove oil
cap.
Add engine oil to bring oil level
NO higher than the FULL mark on the
dipstick.
Tighten the oil inlet cap and close
the access door.
Caution:
If the generator is not level when checking the engine oil, you cannot obtain accurate
oil level. Do not overfill the engine oil. The level cannot exceed the upper limit
because the excessive amount of engine oil may damage the engine.
Extinguish all naked flames before adding engine oil.
