BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE
FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY
SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 4.
DANGER
Filling the fuel tank with petrol while the
inverter is running can cause petrol to
leak and come in contact with hot
surfaces that can ignite the petrol.
Before starting the inverter, always check the level of:
• Engine oil
• Petrol in the fuel tank
Once the inverter is started and the engine gets warm,
it is not safe to add petrol to the fuel tank or engine oil
to the engine while the engine is running or the en-
gine and muffler are hot.
CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the
engine crankcase while the engine
is running. Removing the oil fill plug/
dipstick while the engine is hot can
cause extremely hot oil to spray out of
the crankcase and can severely
burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for
several minutes before removing the
oil fill plug/dipstick.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine.
You must add engine oil before starting the inverter
for the first time. See
Initial Oil Fill
for instructions on
checking engine oil level and the procedure for adding
engine oil.
NOTICE
The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped.
Attempting to start the engine without adding
engine oil will permanently damage internal engine
components.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown
switch. If the oil level becomes low, the engine may
shut down and not start until the oil is filled to the
proper level.
The owner of the inverter is responsible to ensure the
proper oil level is maintained during the operation of
the generator. Failure to maintain the proper oil level
can result in engine damage.
