Prior to operating the generator, engine oil and gasoline will need to be added, as follows:
All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating temperature (also see chart).
Above 40° F, use SAE 30
Below 40° F and down to 10° F, use
Below 10° F, use synthetic
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
Operation
Place generator on a level surface.
Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.
Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil fill opening until it reaches the full mark. Stop filling occasionally to check oil level. (Engine oil is full when level is up to the threads of the oil fill plug, see Figure 8)
Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.
Figure 8 Oil Level
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to cool entirely before filling fuel tank.
