SUBSEQUENT STARTING OF THE GENERATOR
If this is not the first time using the generator, the user should take the following steps to prepare it for operation.
IMPORTANT! At this point the user should be familiar with the procedures described in the sections titled “Start-
ing the Generator” and “Generator Preparation.” If the user has not yet read these sections, go back and read
them now.
STEP 1 - CHECK THE OIL
Oil consumption is normal during generator use. The generator is equipped with a low oil pressure shutoff to protect
it from damage. The oil level of the engine should be checked before each use to ensure that the engine crankcase
contains sufficient lubricant.
TO CHECK OR ADD OIL:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Clean
around oil fill.
2. Remove the oil filler/dipstick cap and check the oil level.
3. If oil level is below the second thread from the lip of the
oil fill opening, slowly add oil until the engine crankcase is
filled.
4. Reinstall and tighten oil cap before starting the engine.
STEP 2 - CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL
Before starting the generator, check to see that there is sufficient gasoline in the fuel tank. Add additional gasoline
as necessary but leave sufficient room in the tank for expansion.
STEP 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
IMPORTANT!
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline.
• Do not use old gasoline.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
WARNING! Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut (Fig. 9) on the front control panel against a grounding wire. A
generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire. This grounding
wire should be connected at the other end to a copper, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Wire and grounding rod are not included in generator contents.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician for area codes.
To maximize the lifespan of this generator, make sure to run it at least once a month. If you do not run it often,
it will greatly shorten the lifespan and performance of the generator.
