Operation
Note: The parts listings above are helpful for locating the controls mentioned below.
CAUTION: PRIOR TO USING THE GENERATOR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE
ENGINE MUST BE FILLED WITH APPROXIMATELY ¾ QUART OF A HIGH QUALITY SAE
10W-30 GRADE ENGINE OIL. TO DO SO, UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE ENGINE'S
OIL LEVEL PLUG (DIPSTICK) LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE
CRANKCASE. FILL THE ENGINE'S CRANKCASE UNTIL THE OIL LEVEL READING IS
AT THE UPPER MARKED LINE ON THE OIL LEVEL PLUG. DO NOT OVERFILL OIL.
TO FINISH, SCREW THE OIL LEVEL PLUG BACK INTO THE OIL FILL HOLE.
Before Starting the Generator
1. Check that the engine power switch on the
control panel is in its "OFF" position.
2. Before the first use, remove the fuel tank
cap and fill the fuel tank with unleaded
gasoline. When fueling, be sure that the
fuel strainer is in place. Replace the fuel
tank cap and check the engine's fuel
gauge for the amount of unleaded gasoline
in the fuel tank. If necessary, refill the
fuel tank with unleaded gasoline. The
generator must be turned off and cooled
down before refilling the fuel tank.
3. Before each use, check oil and fill if
needed.
