User's Manual

• Check the engine oil level daily before starting engine.
• DO NOT start the generator if the oil level is low! The normal operating level for the engine oil is when oil is
present on the crosshatch pattern of the dipstick. Add oil to the engine if it does not start or if oil is not
present on the dipstick when tested.
• DO NOT overfill the crankcase.
• Consult the engine OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for the proper grade of oil, including spe
cial operating conditions such as a change in season or climate.
• Service the generator more frequently when used in dusty areas.
