PRE-OPERATION CHECK
THIS GENERATOR HAS BEEN SHIPPED
WITHOUT ENGINE OIL. DO NOT START THE
ENGINE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN FILLED WITH
SUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
WARNING. Running the generator with
insufficient engine oil can cause
serious engine damage.
Engine oil should be replaced during regular
maintenance or when the oil level is below the
end of the dipstick.
WARNING. Before checking or
replacing oil, make sure the engine is
fully stopped and the generator is
situated on a stable and level surface.
ADDING ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has a major influence on engine
performance and service life. For general, all
temperature use, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 is
recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor oil.
Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine oils will
damage the engine and should not be used.
Place the generator on an even surface and
unscrew the two access panel screws with the
screwdriver provided (Fig.1). Remove the panel.
Unscrew the oil filler cap/dipstick (Fig.2).
Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not
re-thread. Remove dipstick again and check the
oil level. The oil level should fall within the level
indicator area on the dipstick. If level is low, add
engine oil with the funnel until the fluid level
rises to the top of the oil filler neck (Fig.2).
WARNING! DO NOT OVERFILL THIS UNIT
WITH OIL.
Engine oil has a major influence on engine
performance and service life. Use high-
detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil
SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 only.
Oil capacity: 150ml
Warning! Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine
oils will damage the engine and are not
