Never clean your generator with a bucket
of
water or a hose. Water can get inside the working
pats
of
the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Checking the Oil
The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil.
Nonetheless, you should check the oil level
of
the generator before each use to ensure that
the generator crankcase has a sufficient amount.
To
check the oil level:
1.
Make sure the generator is
on
a level surface.
2.
Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure
14).
3.
With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off
of
the stick on the inside of the cap.
4.
Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the cap and then remove again. There
should now be oil
on
the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil only at the very end
of the stick, you should add oil until the engine crankcase
is
filled. See "Changing!
Adding
Oir
in
this section.
5.
Be sure to replace cap when finished checking oil.
