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 1-800-232-1195 (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 / CHECK 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 17 fl. oz. For general use (above 40° F), we recommend
30W, 4-stroke engine oil.
TO ADD OIL:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Tilting the
generator to assist in filling will cause oil to flow into the en-
gine areas and will cause damage. Keep the generator level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine (Fig. 7 - 1).
3. Add oil slowly, being careful not to overfill the unit. Fill the
crank case to the upper fill line so the oil lands about halfway
up the dipstick threads (Fig. 8).
4. 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.
5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark
reaches to the top of the dipstick. Do not overfill the crank-
case. The generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and
will not start without a sufficient amount of oil.
6. Check for oil leaks and firmly tighten the dipstick.
CAUTION! Air cooled engines run
hotter than automotive engines. The
use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity
oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in tem-
peratures above 40° F will result in
higher than normal oil consumption.
When using a multi-viscosity oil,
check the oil level more frequently
than you would otherwise.
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 SAE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart that matches
the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.
