MAINTENANCE & CARE
To refill the crankcase with 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. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. 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.
4. Reinstall dipstick.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash or down a drain. Please
call a local recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper airflow to the
carburetor. Running the engine with dirty, damaged or missing air cleaner
element will cause the engine to wear out prematurely. Occasionally check that
the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt. Refer to Recommended Maintenance
Schedule in Figure 9. For air cleaner detail, refer to Figure 11.
1. Turn fuel valve off, disconnect the fuel line of the fuel valve, then remove the fuel tank.
2. Open the air cleaner clip and open the air cleaner cover.

3. Check and clean the air cleaner element, replace with a new one if the element is damaged. A good element
can be washed in soapy water, dried and reused. There is no need to add oil to the element.
4. Wipe off excessive oil from the air cleaner case. A small amount of oil in the element is normal and necessary
for the engine to work properly.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner element and cover.
CHANGING/ADDING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Figure 9. Change the oil when the en-
gine is warm. This will allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load or high
ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with
water or dirt. The oil capacity of the generator engine is 50.7 fl.oz. Add oil when the oil level is low. For proper
type and weight of oil refer to “add oil” portion of the “Generator Preparation” section.
To drain oil, follow these steps:
1. Place a container underneath the engine to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a 10 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug. Allow all
the oil to drain from the engine.
3. Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten with a 10 mm hex wrench.
