Subsequent Use of the Generator
If this is not your first time using the generator there are still steps you should take to prepare it for
operation.
IMPORTANT: At this point you should be familiar with the procedures described in the first
portion of this section entitled ¡Using the Generator for the First Time.¡ If you have not yet r ead
this section, go back and read it now.
Step 1- Check the Oil
The generator is equipped with an automatic low oil shutoff to protect it from damage. Nonetheless,
user should check the oil level of the engine before each use to ensure that the engine crankcase
contains sufficient lubricant. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off the stick on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the cap and then remove again. There should now
be oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil only at the very end of the stick, you
should add oil until the engine crankcase is filled (see ¡ Changing/Adding Oil¡ portion of the
¡M aintenance¡ section).
5. Be sure to replace cap when finished checking oil.
NOTE: The oil capacity for this generator is 37 fluid oz.
Step 2 ¨ Check the Gas Level
Before starting the generator, check to see that there is sufficient gasoline in the gas tank. The fuel
gauge on top of the generator will indicate the gas level in the tank. Add gas if necessary.
WARNING : Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable.
 Do not fill tank near an open flame.
 Always allow engine to cool for several minutes before refueling.
 Do not overfill (check the ¡Specifications¡ section for the tank capacity of this generator).
Always check for fuel spills.
IMPORTANT:
 Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
 Do not use old gas.
 Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
 Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
 Never store generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.
