CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Park the vehicle on level ground and shut off the
genset before checking the engine oil level.
WARNING
Crankcase pressure can blow hot
engine oil out the fill opening causing severe
burns. Always stop the genset before removing
the oil fill cap.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap and wipe oil off the dip-
stick (Figure 3-1). Screw the cap back on, re-
move it again and check the oil level on the dip
stick.
2. Add or drain oil as necessary. See ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 1-3). Keep the
oil level between the FULL and ADD marks.
CAUTION
Too much oil can cause high oil
consumption. Too little oil can cause severe
engine damage. Keep the oil level between
the FULL and ADD marks.
3. Screw the oil fill cap back on securely.
