ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK

Avoid skin contact with engine oil. Wear protective
clothing and equipment. Wash all exposed skin with
soap and water.
Always use the specified engine oil. Failure to use the
specified engine oil can cause accelerated wear and/or
shorten the life of the engine.
When using the generator under extreme, dirty, dusty
conditions or in extremely hot weather, change the oil
more frequently.
Ambient air temperature will affect engine oil performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions.

engine to cool for several minutes.
Note: Placing the generator on a raised surface slightly
above the oil pan will facilitate draining.
