system should not take the place of checking the oil level before each use.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.
AC Circuit Breaker
The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant
overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit
before switching the AC circuit breaker ON again. The AC circuit breaker may be used to switch the
generator power ON or OFF.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Engine Oil
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and
service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage
the engine and are not recommended.
Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the
generator on a level surface and the engine stopped.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the
requirements for API service classification SJ.
Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letter SJ.
SAE 10W-30 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.
1 Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
2 Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
3 If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
Fuel
Check the fuel gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low.
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.
