INITIAL OIL FILL
BEFORE ADDING ENGINE OIL, REVIEW
SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 4.
NOTICE
Engine oil must be added when the inverter is on a at,
level surface, or an inaccurate reading may result. Do
not overll. If the engine is overlled with oil, it can cause
serious engine damage.
1. Unclip and remove the oil service panel to access
the oil plug/dipstick (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Oil Service Panel
2. Clean area around oil plug/dipstick and remove
plug.
3. Using the supplied funnel, slowly add engine oil to
the engine. Stop frequently to check the level to
avoid overlling.

4. Do not overll, if oil level is too high, oil will drain
out through the ll plug.
NOTICE
Each inverter is tested at the factory for quality
assurance. There may be some residual oil remaining
in the reservoir from testing so be careful to not
overll.

FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY

DANGER
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while
the inverter is running can cause gasoline
to leak and come in contact with hot
surfaces that can ignite the gasoline.
Before starting the inverter, always check the level of:
• Engine oil
• Gasoline in the fuel tank
Once the inverter is started and the engine gets warm, it is
not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank or engine oil to the
engine while the engine is running or the engine and muer
are hot.
CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the engine
crankcase while the engine is running.
Removing the oil ll plug/ dipstick while
the engine is hot can cause extremely
hot oil to spray out of the crankcase and
can severely burn skin. Allow engine oil to
cool for several minutes before removing
the oil ll plug/dipstick.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine. You
must add engine oil before starting the inverter for the rst
time. See Initial Oil Fill for instructions on checking engine
oil level and the procedure for adding engine oil.
NOTICE
The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped.
Attempting to start the engine without adding engine oil
will permanently damage internal engine components.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown switch. If
the oil level becomes low, the engine may shut down and
not start until the oil is lled to the proper level.
The owner of the inverter is responsible to ensure the
proper oil level is maintained during the operation of the
inverter. Failure to maintain the proper oil level can result
in engine damage.
