If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on dipstick:
1. DO NOT try to restart the engine.
2. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.
3. DO NOT operate engine until oil level is corrected.
If oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick:
1. Add oil to bring level to FULL mark.

condition may still exist. DO NOT try to restart the
engine.
3. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.

Cold Weather Operation
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F
[4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase
breather system. To reduce this problem, you need to
perform the following:
1. Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
2. Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).
3. Use SAE 5W-30 oil.
4. Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5. Maintain generator following Maintenance Schedule in
Maintenance section.
6. Shelter unit from elements.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
