GENERATOR SETUP (CONTINUED)
Add oil
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the package
contains no oil in the crankcase
*
. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the
generator for the rst time. This amount is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase:
WARNING: Do not apply engine oils with additives or 2-stroke gasoline engine oils. They don’t
have enough lubrication, and may shorten the engine’s service life.
a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
b. Unscrew the oil ller cap from the engine .
c. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil
into the crankcase. You can check the oil level of the
generator with the dipstick located below the oil
ller cap. Simply pull the dipstick out and the
indicated oil level is on the end of the stick.
d. Replace oil ller cap.
