CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Never clean the generator when it is running! Never clean with a bucket of water or a hose. Water can get inside
the working parts of the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Always try to use the generator in a cool, dry place. If the generator becomes dirty, clean the exterior with a damp
cloth, a soft brush, a vacuum or compressed air.
CHECKING THE OIL
Check the oil level of the generator according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Figure 9. The
generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil. The generator should be
checked before each use for proper oil level. 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 (Figure 10). Do not over fill the crankcase.
4. Reinstall oil dipstick.
