Check the oil level of the generator according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule above. The
generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil. This is a critical
step for proper engine starting. To check the oil level:
1.
Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Clean around oil fill. Remove dipstick and wipe the
dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil
fill opening without screwing in. Remove the dipstick to
check the oil mark. Add oil if the oil mark covers less
than one half of the dipstick.
3. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 2 until the oil mark
reaches to the top of dipstick. Do not over fill the
crankcase.
4. Reinstall oil dipstick.
CHANGING/ADDING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule. Change the oil when the engine is
warm. This will allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load or high
ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become
contaminated with water or dirt. The oil capacity of the generator engine is 37 fl.oz. Add oil when the oil
level is low. For proper type and weight of oil refer to “add oil” portion of the “Generator Preparation”
section.
To drain oil, follow these steps:
1. Place a container underneath the engine to catch oil as it
drains.
2. Using a wrench, unscrew the oil drain bolt. Allow all the
oil to drain from the engine.
3. Reinstall the oil drain bolt and tighten with a wrench.
To refill the crankcase with oil, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Tilting the generator to assist in filling will cause oil to
flow into engine areas and will cause damage. Keep generator level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Using a funnel or appropriate dispenser, add the correct amount of oil (37 fl.oz) into the crankcase.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor and will not start if the amount of oil is insufficient.
4. Reinstall dipstick.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash or down a drain. Please call a local recycling center
or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
