Add Engine Oil
We recommend using SAE 10W-30 APISJ oil for
best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils
(APISJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special
additives. Ambient temperature determines the
proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to
select the proper oil for the outdoor temperature
range expected.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage due to operation
with no oil will void your warranty.

1. Place generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick (A).
3. Wipe dipstick clean.
4. Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of provided
oil bottle into oil filler neck (B) to the "H" mark on
dipstick. Be careful do not overfill. Overfilling with
oil could cause the engine to not start or hard
starting.
5. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick (A) and fully tighten.
6. Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at
least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level
maintained.

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.

NOTICE
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.
Low Oil Shutdown
The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the
oil level becomes lower than required, the sensor will
activate a warning device or stop the engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at
an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an even
surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil
level may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level
switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil.

DANGER
Fuel and its vapor are extremely flammable and
explosive. Add fuel in a well ventilated area. Keep
sparks, open flames and other ignition sources away.
Failure to do so will result in death and serious injury.
DANGER
Do not overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion. If
fuel spills wait until it evaporates before starting
engine. Failure to do so will result in death and
serious injury.
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator
engine with a minimum 87 octane / 87 AKI (91
RON). Do not use E85 or E15.
For high altitude use, see "Operation at High
Altitude".
