5. If theoil level is low add more oil. SAE 10W-30 engine oilfor
4-stroke engines is recommended for normal use (-5–25 °C).
Theoil should have anAPI service class rating of at leastSJ.
Refuelling
1. Makesure that thegenerator is flat and level and in awell-ventilated place. Unscrew thefuel cap (2).
2. Onlyuse fresh, clean petrol with anoctane rating of at least 95 and containing no more than 10 % ethanol. Theuse of
fuel with acontent of ethanol higher than 10 % could lead to engine damage which is not covered by theguarantee.
3. Screwthefuel cap back on, close theair vent (1) if thegenerator is not to be used straight away.
4. Wipeup any fuel spills immediately.
Starting the engine (cold start)
Thegenerator should be placed on afirm, flat surface with good ventilation and at least 1 metre away from building walls
and ceilings.
Note: Thegenerator engine cooling air inlet vents are located on theunderside of thegenerator. Thegenerator must not be
placed on any soft material which could block theair inlets and cause theengine to overheat.
Operating instructions
Preparations
Check the oil level before switching the generator on
1. Removethescrew (18) fastening themaintenance cover (19) (the big cover next to thestarter handle).
2. Make sure that thegenerator is on aflat and level surface. Removetheoil filler cap (7) and wipe thedipstick clean.
3. Fully insert thedipstick into thefiller neck without screwing thecap back on.

Thedipstick hole is also theoil filler neck. Theoil level should be between themark on thedipstick and thebottom of
thefiller bottom of thethread on theoil filler neck.
