Add Engine Oil

CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly filled with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Damage
to the generator as a result of failure to follow
these instructions will void your warranty.
NOTE:
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive
oil. However outdoor temperatures will determine
the space proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the
chart to select the best for the outdoor temperature
range expected.

5.Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
6.Reinstall maintenance cover and tighten screws.
7.Oil Level should be checked prior to each use or
at least 8 hours or operation. Keep oil level maintained.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
NOTE:
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be
the break-in period for the unit. During the break
in period stay at or below 50% of the running
watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the
load will also cause engine speed to vary and help
seat piston rings.

Low oil shutdown

The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown.If
the oil level becomes lower than required,the
sensor will activate a warning device or stop the
engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting
at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an
even surface to correct this. If engine fails to
start, the oil level may not be sufficient to
deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the
sump is completely full of oil.
