Sears CRAFTSMAN 919.679370 Mode D'emploi page 12

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.
The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in
ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. If multi-viscosity oil is used,
check the oil level more frequently to prevent any posssible
engine damage due to lack or lubrication.
Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard start-
ing and possible engine damage due to inadequate lubri-
cation.
Low Oil Shutdown
Your Craftsman generator engine is equipped with Low
Oil Shutdown. Low Oil Shutdown is a safetydevice
designed to protect your engine from damage in the
event the oil level in the crankcase is low.
If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it will
automatically shut itself down and will not restart until
the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the
generator will not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very
sensitive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the
dipstick to inactivate this safety device.
Gasoline
Your generator engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded fuel
only. Never mix oil with gasoline.
CAUTION: Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank
to 1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide
space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from
engine and equipment before starting engine.
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel
tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke
when filling fuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If un-
leaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be used.

Make sure the fuel shutoff valve is turned to the open po-
sition.
CLOSE
OPEN
• Remove gas cap
• Add unleaded gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
• Do not overfill.
• On the engine there is a choke/run lever. Place lever
to the choke position.
CHOKE
LEVER
• On the engine there is a throttle control lever. Place
throttle to the rabbit position. Always start engine
with throttle in the rabbit position. Place on/stop
switch to the "on" postion.
• Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance
is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
• When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to
RUN position.
• If engine does not start after 5 pulls, place choke
back to run position.
• For hot engine starts make sure choke lever is in
the run position. Make sure fuel shut off valve is open
and throttle is in the rabbit position.
