USING THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME

The following section describes steps necessary to prepare the generator for use.  If after reading this sec-
tion, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call (800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST for 
customer service. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its life. 

Step 1 - ADD OIL

The generator is shipped without oil.  User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the generator for 
the first time.  The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 50.7 fl. oz.  For general use (above 40° F), we recommend 
30W, 4-stroke engine oil.  

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications SJ, SL, or 
SM  (synthetic oils may be used). Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart (Figure 1) that matches 
the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes. 

Figure 1 - Engine Oil Temperature Recommendations

To add 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. Open the door.
3. Remove the dipstick from the engine. (Figure 2) 
4. Using a funnel or appropriate dispenser, add the correct amount of oil (50.7 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.  
5. To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill opening without 
screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.
6. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to the top of the dipstick (Figure 2).  Do not 
overfill the crankcase.  The generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and will not start if the amount of oil is 
insufficient.
7. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly.
