Prior to checking the oil level, start the generator by

moving the Mode switch on the control panel to the RUN

position. Allow the generator to run for one or two

minutes, then shut it down by returning the switch to the

OFF position. After the engine comes to a stop let the

engine set for a couple of minutes before checking the oil

level. Begin the level check by removing the dipstick (A),

wiping it clean, then reinserting it into the engine.

Remove the dipstick a second time, checking that the oil

level falls between the upper and lower limit marks on

the end of the dipstick, as shown in Fig. A. Adjust engine

oil level as required so the level is at the upper limit mark

on the dipstick, adding oil to the engine through the oil fill

cap (B) as shown in Fig B. Add only oil of the same

specification as the oil already in the engine.
