The oil level in this generator should be checked before each use. When the oil level is low, add oil until the level is sufficient to operate this generator.
To drain the oil from this generator:
The oil should be changed after the first 20 hours of operation. The oil should then be changed every 6 months, or for every 100 hours of use time, or
when it has become contaminated with water and/or dirt.
Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
1. Loosen the cover screw and remove the maintenance cover. (Fig 11A)
2. Remove the oil filler cap (Fig 11B).
3. Drain dirty oil into a container.

NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash, down a drain or on the ground. Put oil in a sealed container and contact your local
recycling center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
To add oil to the engine crankcase:
