SUBSEQUENT STARTING OF THE GENERATOR
If this is not the first time using the generator, user should take the following steps to prepare it for
operation.
IMPORTANT: At this point the user should be familiar with the procedures described in the
section titled “Using the Generator for the First Time.” If the user has not yet read this
section, go back and read it now.
Step 1- Check the Oil
Oil consumption is normal during generator usage. The generator is equipped with a low-oil
shutoff to protect it from damage. The oil level in the engine should be checked before each use to
ensure that the engine crankcase contains sufficient lubricant.
To check or add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Clean around oil fill.
2. Remove the oil filler/dipstick cap and check oil level.
3. If oil level is below the second thread from the lip of the oil fill opening, slowly add oil
until the engine crankcase is filled.
4. Reinstall and tighten oil filler cap before starting the engine. .
