ASSEMBLY
Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships
from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced
with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please
have your serial number and model number available.
Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the
generator.
3. Using the carrying handles of the unit, carefully
remove the generator from the box. (two people lifting
is recommended)
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the
maintenance cover.
5. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
4. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of standard engine oil and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive
oil.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil
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.
CAUTION
Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
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.
CAUTION
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to
the Maintenance section for recommended service
intervals.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.
NOTE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial
break-in period. Using synthetic oil does no
increase the recommended oil change interval.
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.
