Oil Level
CAUTION
Refer to Maintenance for oil fill information.
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
The generator engine is shipped from the factory filled
with synthetic oil (AP[ SJ/CF 5W-30W). This allows for
generator operation in the widest range of temperature
and climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check
oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in
"Maintenance".
NOTE: The use of synthetic oil does not alter the
required oil change intervals described in the
Haintenance section.

and for several minutes after charging a battery.
DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.

The generator is supplied with a sealed, lead-acid
rechargeable 12 Volt DC, AGM type, 33 Amp-Hour,
battery. The battery cables are connected at the factory.
The battery will lose some charge in shipping and prior to
generator installation. If battery voltage is too low to start
the engine, charge the battery, as described in
"Maintenance".
If the battery fails to take a charge, it must be replaced
ONLY with the same type of 12 Volt DC, AGM type,
33 Amp-Hour battery. DO NOT replace with liquid
electrolyte lead-acid type battery.
