Never clean your generator with a bucket of water or a hose. Water can get inside the working parts of
the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Checking the Oil
The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil. Nonetheless,
you should check the oil level of the generator before each use to ensure that the generator crankcase
has a sufficient amount. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure 12).
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of 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¡ in this section.
5. Be sure to reinstall the cap when finished checking the oil.

Changing/ Adding Oil
You should check the oil level of your generator according to the maintenance schedule in figure 11.
When the oil level is low you will need to add oil until the level is sufficient to run the generator.
The oil capacity of your generator engine is 37 fluid oz.
It is necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase after 50 hrs of use, or if it has become contaminated
with water or dirt. In this case, you can drain the oil from the generator according to the following
steps:
1. Place a bucket underneath the generator to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which is located on the crankcase underneath
the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure 13). Allow all the oil to drain from the generator.
3. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a hex wrench.
To add oil to the crankcase, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
