NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the
oil level in the crankcase falls below a critical level.
The rst 5 hours of run time are 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
slightly and help seat piston rings. After the 5-hour break-in period,
change the oil.
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5-hour initial break-in period.
Using synthetic oil does not extend the recommended oil change
interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold ambient
<41°F (5°C) temperatures.
Add Gasoline
WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:
Fill the gasoline tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition
sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait
for it to cool before adding gasoline. Do not smoke.

2. Unscrew the fuel cap and set it aside.
3. Slowly add gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overll. The
fuel gauge on the top of the fuel tank indicates how much gasoline
is in the generator fuel tank.
4. Replace the fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry
cloth then remove the cloth from the area.
Do not overll the gasoline the tank. Overlling can result in a re,
explosion, or death.
Gasoline can expand. Do not ll the gasoline tank to the top. Leave a
minimum of 1.5 inches open space. Gasoline fumes are highly
ammable. Do not ll the tank near an open ame. Always check for
gasoline spills.
● To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH,
UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.
● Never use an oil/gasoline mixture. Never use old gasoline.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the gasoline tank.
● Gasoline can age in the tank and make it hard to start the generator
in the future.
● Never store generator for extended periods of time with gasoline in
the tank.
