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 into the crankcase. The engine is
equipped with a low oil pressure 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. 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. Remove the side panel.
2. Unscrew the cover bolt, then remove the air cleaner cover.
3. Check and clean the air cleaner element, replace with a new one if the element is damaged. 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. Small amount of oil in the element is normal and necessary for
the engine to work properly.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner element, cartridge and access panel.
CAUTION: running the engine with dirty, damaged or missing air cleaner element will cause the engine to wear
out prematurely.
