Changing/Adding Oil
The oil level in this generator should be checked before each use. (See Figure 10.) When the oil level is low, add oil until the level is sufficient to
operate this generator.
The oil capacity for this Generator engine is 25 ounces.
To drain the oil from this generator:
The oil should be changed after the first 20 hours of operation. The oil should then be changed every 6months, or for every 100 hours of use time, or
when it has become contaminated with water and/or dirt.
1. Place a bucket underneath this generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a 10 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug located on the crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap as illustrated in Figure 12.
3. Allow all the oil to drain from this generator.
4. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 10 mm hex wrench.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash, down a drain or on the ground. Put oil in a sealed container and contact your local
recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
To add oil to the engine crankcase:
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 11 above.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
