If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call your local dealer. Please have your serial
number and model number available.

Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly filled with the recommended type and
amount of oil. Damage to the generator as a result of
failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the
maintenance cover.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
4. Add oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL.

Degrees Fahrenheitº (Outside)
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will
stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the
threshold level.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life
of the bearing.
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the unit. During the break in period stay
at or below 50% of the running watt rating and vary the
load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat and
cool. Adjusting the load will also cause engine speed to
vary and help seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in
period, change the oil.
NOTE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.
