Add Oil

CAUTION! Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended oil may result in an engine failure.

To fill your engine with oil:

•Place generator on a level surface.

•Follow the oil grade recommendations and oil fill instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See “Storage” on page 11. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
