CHECKING ENGINE OIL
NOTICE
Always maintain proper engine oil level. Failure to
maintain proper engine oil level could result in severe
damage to the engine and/or shorten the life of the
engine.
Always use the specified engine oil. Failure to use the
specified engine oil can cause accelerated wear and/
or shorten the life of the engine.
Engine oil level should be checked before every use.
1. Always operate or maintain the inverter on a flat
surface.
2. Stop engine if running.
3. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow
crankcase pressure to equalize).
4. Remove the oil service panel to access the oil fill/
drain plug (see Figure 3 on page 11).
5. With a damp rag, clean around the oil fill/drain plug.
6. Remove the oil fill/drain plug.
7. Check oil level: When checking the engine oil, remove
the oil fill/ drain plug (see Figure 4 on page 11).
• The oil level is acceptable if oil is visible at the
bottom of the threads of the oil fill plug.
• If oil level is low, add to the correct level using
the supplied oil fill bottle. Do not overfill the oil
crankcase.
NOTICE
Engine oil must always be checked and added when
the inverter is on a flat, level surface, or an inaccurate
reading may result, causing serious engine damage.
ADDING ENGINE OIL
1. Always operate or maintain the inverter on a flat
surface.
2. Stop engine if running.
3. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow
crankcase pressure to equalize).
4. Remove the engine service panel to gain access to
the oil fill/drain plug.
5. Thoroughly clean around the oil fill/drain plug.
6. Remove the oil fill/drain plug.
7. Select the proper engine oil as specified in Figure 12.
8. Using the supplied oil funnel, slowly add engine oil
to the engine. Stop frequently to check the oil level
and avoid overfilling.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
1. Stop the engine.
2. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow
crankcase pressure to equalize).
3. Remove the oil service panel to gain access to the
oil fill/drain plug.
4. Place oil pan (or suitable container) under the oil fill/
drain plug.
5. Remove oil fill/drain plug. With a damp rag, thor-
oughly clean around the oil fill/drain plug.
6. Insert provided funnel around oil fill/drain and
carefully tilt the inverter so the oil drains down the
through the funnel into the container.
7. Allow oil to completely drain.
8. Fill crankcase with oil following the steps outlined in
Adding Engine Oil above and tighten oil plug.
9. Dispose of used engine oil properly.
NOTICE
Never dispose of used engine oil by dumping the
oil into a sewer, on the ground, or into groundwater
or waterways. Always be environmentally
responsible. Follow the guidelines of the
governmental agencies for proper disposal of
hazardous materials. Consult local authorities or
reclamation facility.
