Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships
from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced
with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please
have your serial number and model number available.
Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the
generator.
3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from top to
bottom. Fold each side flat on the ground to provide a
surface area to install the wheel kit and support leg.
Add Engine Oil
ASSEMBLy
The recommended type of oil for use in the
generator is 10W-30 automotive.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life
of the bearing.

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.

stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the
threshold level.
