Generator Components
Operating the generator with the access cover off can lead to severe burns and engine damage due to
overheating. Always secure the cover after starting the generator.
Removing the Access Cover
Turn the cover latches counter clockwise to the ‘open’ position and pull the top of the cover outward.
Components
The basic components of the generator are visible with the cover off (shown in Fig. 1). Note
specifically the location of the gasoline/LP selector which allows the user to select the type of fuel to
be burned in the engine. Also be sure to note the location of the oil dipstick and check this oil level
regularly. Your generator may have been shipped without oil, so
NEVER start a new generator
without checking the oil level.
Securing the Access Cover
Position the bottom of the access cover so that its lip catches the top edge of the pan. Rotate the top
of the cover toward the generator and turn the two cover latches clockwise to the closed position,
while making sure the latches catch with the cover and are secure.
