The generator comes with the battery disconnected for safety. To use the electric start, the battery
need to be connected. To connect the battery:
1. Remove the protective covering from the free end of the negative battery cable. This cable is
connected to the generator on the other end and is located in the vicinity of the battery.
2. Attach the free end of the negative cable to the battery and secure the connection.
NOTE: If you do not plan to use the generator for a long period of time, it is a good idea to disconnect
the negative battery cable from the battery for storage. After disconnecting the cable, cover the free
end with an insulator such as electrical tape.
Step 2- Add oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. Mew generator fresh from the package contains
17ooil in the crankcase. User must add the proper amount ofoil before operating the generator for the
first time. The oil capacity of this engine crankcase is 37 fluid oz. For general use, we recommend
30W, 4-stroke engine oil to fill the engine crankcase.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 4.
3. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil, as found in figure 1, into the crankcase. The
crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of the opening where you have
just poured the oil into (see figure 5).
4. Reinstall oil filler cap.

Step 3- Add Gasoline
WARNING: Gasoline and gas fumes are highly flammable. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if not directly in contact with gas.
• Do not operate near open flame.
• Do not smoke near generator.
