Cleanin_ the Generator
Always try to use your generator in a cool dry place. In the event your generator becomes dirty you
may clean the exterior with one or more of the following:
a damp cloth
a soft brush
a vacuum
pressurized air
Never clean your generator with a bucket of water or a hose. Water can get inside the working parts of
the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Checkin_ the Oil
The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil.
Nonetheless, you should check the oil level of the generator before each use to ensure that the
generator 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 (see figure 15).
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 "Changing/Adding Oil" in this section.
5. Be sure to reinstall the cap when finished checking the oil.
