NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher rated SAE 30
weight. DO NOT use special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the following table:
STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT O_L CHANGE
* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W=30, 10W=30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi=
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible engine
bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2. Place generator on a level surface.
3. Clean area around yellow oil fill cap. Remove oil
fill cap.
4. Slowly fill engine with oil through oil fill opening
until oil level is to the point of overflowing.
5. Install yellow oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
6. Check engine oil level before starting each time
thereafter. If oil level is below the point of
overflowing, fill to proper level.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break-in.

use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil
with fuel.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

space for fuel expansion, as shown here.
4. InstaJl fueJ cap and wipe up any spiJJedfuel
CAUTRON! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the
fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See "Storage" on page 16 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
