Engine Oil
Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the
generator on a level surface and the engine stopped.
SAE 10W-30 API grade CD or higher is recommended
for general, all temperature use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
To check the oil level:
1. If the generator has been running, wait for 10 mins
to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
2. Access the engine via the Service Access
3. Remove the oil ller cap / dipstick (a) and wipe the
dipstick clean.

4. Insert the ller cap/dipstick back into the dip tube

level lies on between the minimum and maximum
positions on the dip stick.
