NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
"
NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

"
NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time are 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 slightly and help seat piston
rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
