PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE

Using this Generator for the First-Time

STOP!

The following section describes the required steps for preparing this generator for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps can damage this generator and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call 1-866-460-9437 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service.

If this generator is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation:

Step 1 - Add Oil

This generator requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. When new from the package, this generator contains no oil in the engine crankcase. The correct quantity of oil is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase and is 38 fluid oz (1.13 L) for this ACDelco Model AC-G0003 5500 Surge Watts / 5000 Running Watts Portable Generator. Add the correct quantity of oil before operating this generator for the first time. When replenishing oil for subsequent use of this generator, always determine that this generator has the correct quantity of oil.

Model AC-G0003 Oil Capacity (Qt/fluid oz./L)

1.2 / 38 / 1.13

Model AC-G0003 Oil Type Recommended

High Detergent Motor Oil, SAE10W-30

To add oil:

1.Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.

2.Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 1.

3.Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity as stated above. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended for general, all-temperature use. When the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as illustrated in Figure 2.

4.Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap.
