Lubrication Oil

Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler hole, but do not overfill. Make sure the generator is level. With the dipstick inserted all the way, but without being screwed into the filler hole, verify that the oil level is maintained between the two notches on the dipstick.

The oil listed in Table 3 is recommended to ensure better engine performance. Use class SC or higher grade motor oil.

NOTE

This HONDA engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown capability. A built in sensor will automatically turn off the engine should the oil level fall below a safe operating condition. Make sure the generator is placed on level ground. Placing the generator on level ground will ensure that the low oil sensor will function properly.

GA-9.7 HZ — PRE-SETUP

Fill the fuel tank with clean and fresh unleaded gasoline. Do not fill the tank beyond capacity.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 8 Specification Table1.

The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.

Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.

CAUTION :

Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or in the dark. Gasoline spillage on a hot engine can cause a fire or explosion. If gasoline spillage occurs, wipe up the spilled gasoline completely to prevent fire hazards.
