Checking the oil

Check the oil

The generator is equipped with an automatic shuto to

protect it from damage due to low oil. Nonetheless, you

should check the oil level of the engine before each use to

ensure that the engine crankcase has a sucient amount.

To check the oil level:

a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.

b. Unscrew the oil ller/dipstick cap.

c. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil o of the stick on the

inside of the cap.

d. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the

cap and then remove again. There should now be

oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil

only at the very end of the stick, you should add

oil until the engine crankcase is lled (see “Adding

Oil” portion of the “Maintenance” section).

e. Be sure to replace the cap when nished checking

oil.

NOTE: The oil capacity for your generator can be found in

the “Specications” section of this manual.
