PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE
USING THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME
If you are using the generator for the first time, there are a few steps you must take to prepare it for
operation.
Step 1- Add oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the package,
contains no oil in the crankcase. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the
generator for the first time. This amount, which is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase,
can be found on the chart in figure 1. When filling the engine with oil in the future, please refer to this
chart.
Engine Oil Capacity
12 fluid oz.
Figure 1- Generator Oil Capacity
CAUTION:
Do not apply engine oil with additives or
2-stroke gasoline engine oil, which may
shorten the engine’s service life.
Engine oil recommended: SAE 10W-30. As
viscosity varies with regions and temperatures,
so the lubricant has to be selected in accordance
with our recommendation.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 2.
3. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil, as found in figure 1, into the crankcase. You
will know the crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of the opening you
have just poured the oil into (see figure 3).
4. Replace oil filler cap.
