Oil

Oil Recommendations

NOTE: Use a 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 table below:

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 viscosity improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80°F (27°C).

*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.

Changing Engine Oil

Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation. Change oil every 50 hours thereafter. If you are using your generator under extremely dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change the oil more often.

CAUTION

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil.

•Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.

•Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON’T
