ensure that the engine crankcase has a sucient amount.

a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
b. Remove dipstick.
c. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil o of the stick.
d. Insert the dipstick completely back into its hole in
the engine case. the pull it out again. There should

add oil until the engine crankcase is lled (see
“Adding Oil” portion of the “Maintenance” section).
