3. Inspection
Before Operation
Place the generator on a firm and flat
surface.
3.1 Checking and selecting your engine
oil
The engine can be damaged if
operated with insufficient lube oil. It
is also dangerous to fill with too
much lube oil because a sudden
increase in engine rpm can cause
combustion. Always check the lube
oil level before starting the engine
and refill if necessary.
Pull out the oil gauge, wipe it with a
rag or paper towel then dip it into the
filter neck and pull it back out. Add
engine oil if the liquid is at or below
the lower limit. Take care not to add
oil beyond the upper limit. After filling
with oil, return the oil gauge to the oil
receptacle and screw it back in place.
Use of proper lube oil preserves your
engine
ENGINE OIL
We recommend the American Petroleum
Institute (A.P.I.) classifications of CC or CD
for optimum performance. Always use the
oil with the right viscosity for the ambient
temperature where your engine is being
operated. Use the chart below for choosing
your engine oil.
