ENGINE OIL CHANGE

NOTE: Change after 20 hours for the first time and at every 100 hours
thereafter.
1. Start the engine and warm up for two to three minutes.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the oil maintenance cover.
4. Remove the oil filler cap.
5. Tilt the generator to drain engine oil.
6. Supply new oil to the upper limit (standard level) on the oil level gauge.
Oil capacity: 0.4 Liters
Oil: Engine oil
● Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the specified quantity.
If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil
is not sufficient, the engine damage will result and its life will be greatly
shortened.
NOTE: Place the generator on a level surface before supplying engine oil.
NOTE: Be sure to wipe off spilled engine oil.
7. Tighten the oil filler cap.
8. Install the oil maintenance cover.
Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil and containers in a manner that will not harm the natural environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for reclamation. Do not
throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down the drain.
NOTE: Never operate the generator without oil filler cap tightly secured. Failure to do so could cause oil to
spill out of the engine.

AIR FILTER

Adirty air cleaner will restrict airflow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air filter
regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
NOTE: Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and take out the element.
