The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil
Connect Battery
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly lled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the generator as
a result of failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.
NOTE
We consider the rst 5 hours of run time to be
the break-in period for the unit. During the break
in period stay at or below 50% of the running
watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the
load will also cause engine speed to vary and help
seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the ll hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
1. Place the generator on a at, level surface.
2. Remove oil ll cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil ll cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
