PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE
Usin_ the Generator for the First Time
@ The following section describes steps you must follow to prepare your generator
for first-time use. If after reading this" section, you are unsure about how to perform
any of the steps please call (888) 315-3080 M-F 8-5 CT for customer service.
Failure to perform these steps properly can damage your generator or shorten its" life.
If you are using the generator for the first time, there are a few steps you must take to
prepare it for operation:
Step 1- Add oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new [_Oln the
package, contains 17o oil in the crankcase. You must add the proper amount ofoil before
operating the generator for the first time. This amount, which is equal to the oil capacity
of the engine crankcase, is 37 fluid oz.
For general use, we recommend SAE 10W/30 oil to fill the engine crankcase.
To add oil, tbllow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap t_Oln the engine as shown in figure 1.
3. Using a funnel, add 37 fluid ounces ofoil into the crankcase. You will know the
crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of the opening you
have just poured the oil into (see figure 2).
4. Replace oil filler cap.
