Craftsman 580.32561 operating instructions Enginemaintenance, 8il

TheStatStationTM displays the nominai ioad on generator based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance reminder.

Wattage Monitor Operatian

The dispiay is two seven-segment LEDsthat provide an easy- to-read indication of the amount of power being suppiied by the generator. The ioad monitor displays the generator's output as a percentage.

As generator ioad increases,the dispiay vaiues wiii increase. When the dispiayedvalues begin flashing, the user should stop adding electricaI ioads to the generator.

If the power usage becomestoo hi@l, the ietters "OL" (for Over Load)will flash on the display. The user should reduce the amount of load attached to the generator.

_laintenanee Reminder

The LEDwill display certain codes to aiert you to check oii, change off, check or replaceair fiiter and check or replace spark piug. The foliowing codes wiii display:

"C1" Check oii at 8 hour increments "C2" Changeoil at 50 hour increments

"C3" Check or repiace air fiiter at 25 hour increments "C4" Check or repiace spark piug at 100 hour increments To take advantage of the StatStation "maintenance reminder" capabilities, tile user must press tile resetbutton after compieting the maintenancecatied for in the dispiayedcode (Cl, C2, C3, or C4). This results in a display of "Co" or "CA", depending on how iong the button is pressed:

1)"Co" = Pressingthe reset button once quickiy wiii display "Co" (clearing to zero). This wilI clear any maintenancecodes that haveelapsed up to that point and they wiii begin timing againfrom zero.

2)"CA" - Pressing and hoiding the resetbutton for

2 seconds wilI display "CA"(clearing all). This clearsalI maintenancecodes, even if they have not yet reached their service point, and they will begin timing again from zero.

If nominal Ioad and maintenancecodes appear

simuItaneously, the LEDshall display, alternately, the nominal Ioad and code as follows:

The code wilI display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

NOTE:When adding oiI to the engine crankcase, use only high quality detergent oii classified "For Service SF,SG, SH, SJ" or higiler. DO NOTuse speciai additives.

1. Choosea viscosity according to the foiiowing table:

		40 C
86		30
68
50		10
10432	F_	0
14		-10
4		-20
-22		-30

NOTE:Synthetic oii meeting iLSAC GF=2,API certification mark and APi service symboi with "SJ/CFENERGY CONSERVING"or higiler, is an acceptabieoii at aii temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

$AE30:40 °Fand h@her(5 °Cand h,{qher)is good for ati purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will causehard starting.

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

*Check oii ievei frequently at higher temperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30:=20 to 120 °F(=30to 40 °5')provides the best protection at all temperatures as weii as improved starting with iess oii consumption.

5W-31}:40 °Fand be_;ow(5 °Cand be/ow) is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.
