GENERATOR PREPARATION

STEP 1 - ADD / CHECK OIL (CONTINUED)

For subsequent operation, the oil level should be checked

before each use, or after every 8 hours of operation. The

generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and will not

start without a sufficient amount of oil.

To check oil level (before every subsequent start):

1. Place the generator on a level surface. Make sure the

engine is OFF before adding or checking oil.

2. Remove and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.

3. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill without screwing it in.

Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.

4. If the oil mark covers less than one half of the dipstick,

slowly add oil until the oil mark reaches the top of the

dipstick (or when you can see the oil coming halfway up

the oil fill threads).

OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN

To protect the unit from damage, the generator is equipped with a low-oil-pressure shutoff that will automatically

shut down the engine when the oil level is too low. The oil level of the engine should be checked before each start

to ensure that the engine crankcase contains sufficient lubricant.
