Engine oil
If theoil level is too low, thegenerator shuts off automatically to prevent damage. Checktheoil level prior to
every use to ensure that there is enough.
Engine oil gradually loses thelubricating, cooling and cleaning properties it has when it is new and therefore
needs to be changed periodically.
