4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

CHECK ENGINE OIL

Before checking or refilling oil, be sure generator is located on stable and level surface with engine stopped.

Remove oil filler cap and check the engine oil level.

If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with suitable oil (see table) to upper level line. Do not screw in the oil filler cap when checking oil level.

Change oil if contaminated. (See "How-To" Maintenance.)
