Oil

Oil Recommendations

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use only high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. DO NOT use special additives.

1.Choose a viscosity according to the following table:

NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2,API certification mark and API service symbol with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

SAE 30: 40 °F and higher (5 °C and higher) is good for all purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard starting.

10W-30:0 to 100 °F (-18 to 38 °C) is better for varying temperature conditions.This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80°F(27°C) or higher.

*Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30:-20 to 120 °F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption.

5W-30:40 °F and below (5 °C and below) is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.

Checking Oil Level

Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

1.Make sure generator is on a level surface.

2.Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.

3.Verify oil is at the point of overflowing at oil fill opening.

4.Replace and tighten oil fill cap.

Adding Engine Oil

1.Make sure generator is on a level surface.

2.Check oil level as described in “Checking Oil Level”.

3.If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the point of overflowing at oil fill.

4.Replace and tighten oil fill cap.

Service Air Cleaner

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if you run it with a dirty air cleaner.

Replace the air cleaner every 25 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first. Replace more often if operating under dirty or dusty conditions.
