1.5.3 engine oil requirements

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Classification SF, SG or SH. The recommended oil weights include the following:

•During summer months: SAE 30. An acceptable substitute is SAE 10W-30.

•During winter months: SAE 5W-30. DO NOT USE SAE 10-W40.

Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately 800 mL or .84 U.S. quarts. Do NOT use special addi- tives. See Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (Page 12) for oil level check and fill procedures.

1.5.6 emissions compliance period

For non-handheld engines the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements.

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

2.1.2 fuse

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If the fuse must be replaced, use only an identical replacement.

2.1.3 main breaker

The main breaker protects the generator’s AC out- put circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 120-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. The generator has a 30-amp breaker.
