BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Add Engine Oil

NOTE: In the future, When adding oil to the engine crankcase use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF and SG. Use no special additives DO NOT USE SAE 10W-40.

Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°E Check your engine oil level frequently to avoid possible damage from running low on oil. See the engine owner's manual for further information.

To add oil to the engine:

•Place generator on a level surface.

•Clean area around oil fill and remove oil cap.

•Slowly add oil through the oil fill opening until it reaches the top. DO NOT OVERFILL.

•Install oil cap, hand tighten securely.

,_	CAUTION: Any attempt to crank or start the
	engine before it has been properly serviced
	with the recommended oil will result in an
	engine failure.

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

Add Fuel

,_.	CAUTION: Do Not overfill the fuel tank
	Always allow room for fuel expansion.

Use only regular UNLEADED 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 gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
