Figure 5- Attaching the Grounding Wire to the Generator
Subsequent Use of the Generator
If this is not your first time using the generator there are still steps you should take to
prepare it for operation.
IMPORTANT: At this point you should be familiar with the procedures described
in the first portion of this section entitled "Using the Generator for the First Time."
If you have not yet read this section, go back and read it now.
Step 1- Check the Oil
The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from damage due to low
oil. Nonetheless, you should check the oil level of the engine before each use to ensure
that the engine crankcase has a sufficient amount. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the stick on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the cap and then remove again. There
should now be oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil only at the
very end of the stick, you should add oil until the engine crankcase is filled (see
"Adding Oil" portion of the "Maintenance" section).
5. Be sure to replace cap when finished checking oil.
NOTE: The oil capacity for your generator can be found in the "Specifications" section
of this manual
