• 30W, 4-stroke engine oil for
temperatures above 40°F.
• 10W-30 engine oil for temper-
atures between 0°F - 40°F.
• Synthetic 5W-30 engine oil for
all temperature ranges.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS -
Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) service classifications SJ, SL, or SM (synthetic oils may be used). Select the SAE
viscosity grade of oil that matches the expected operating temperature. For general use (above 40° F),
we recommend 30W, 4-stroke engine oil.
GENERATOR PREPARATION
The following section describes the necessary steps to prepare the generator for use. If you are unsure
about how to perform any of the steps please call (800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST for customer service. Fail-
ure 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
13.5 fl. oz. The generator is equipped with a
low-oil sensor and will NOT start without a sufficient amount of oil.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is shut OFF and on a level surface.
Tilting the generator to assist in filling will cause oil to flow into
the engine areas and will cause damage. Keep the generator level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine (Fig. 2).
3. Using an oil funnel or appropriate dispenser, slowly add oil into
the oil fill, being careful not to overfill the unit. Fill the crank case
to the upper fill line so you can visually see the oil coming halfway
up the oil fill threads (Fig. 3).
4. Check for oil leaks and firmly tighten the dipstick.
To check oil level (before every subsequent start):
Remove and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dip-
stick into the oil fill without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to
check the oil mark. If the oil mark covers less than one half of the
dipstick, slowly add oil until the oil mark reaches to the top of the
dipstick (or when you can see the oil coming halfway up the oil fill
threads). Check for oil leaks and firmly tighten the dipstick.
