Check the oil level BEFORE EACH
USE with the generator on a level
surface and the engine stopped.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
Position generator on a flat, level surface.
Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck
without screwing it in.
If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the
recommended oil.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets
or exceeds the requirements for
API service category SJ or later (or
equivalent). Always check the API
SERVICE label on the oil container
to be sure it includes the letters SJ
or later (or equivalent).
