Check the Engine
To prevent a possible fire, keep the generatorat least 3 feet (1 meter)
away from building walls and other equipment duringoperation. Do
not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Before beginning yourpre-operation checks, be sure the generator is
on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Check the oil level (see page ). A low oil level will cause the Oil Alert
system to shut down the engine.
Check the air filter (see page ). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to
the carburetor, reducingengine and generator performance.
Check the fuel level (see page ). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
