PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE 

 

Using this Generator for the First-Time 

 

STOP!         

 

The following section describes the required steps for preparing this generator for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps 

can damage this generator and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call 

1-866-460-9436 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service. 
 

If this generator is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation: 

 

Step 1 - Add Oil 

 

This generator requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. When new from 

the package, this generator contains no oil in the engine crankcase. The correct quantity of oil is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase 

and is 13.5 fluid oz (0.40 L) for this Model GEN1100 1500 Surge Watts / 1100 Running Watts Portable Generator. Add the correct quantity of oil 
before operating this generator for the first time. When replenishing oil for subsequent use of this generator, always determine that this generator  

has the correct quantity of oil. 

 
Model GEN1100 Oil Capacity (fluid oz./L) 

13.5 / 0.4 

Model GEN1100 Oil Type Recommended 

SAE10W-30 

 

To add oil: 
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface. 

2. Open the Oil Access Panel as illustrated in Figure 1. 

3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity as stated above. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended. 

When the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as illustrated in Figure 2. 

4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap and close the oil access panel.
