Operation
NOTE: THE PARTS LISTED ABOVE ARE HELPFUL FOR LOCATING THE
CONTROLS MENTIONED BELOW.
CAUTION: PRIOR TO FIRST USING THE GENERATOR, THE ENGINE MUST BE
FILLED WITH OIL OF A HIGH QUALITY SAE 10W-30 GRADE ENGINE OIL.
TO DO SO, UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE ENGINE’S OIL DIPSTICK LOCATED
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. FILL THE ENGINE’S
CRANKCASE UNTIL THE OIL LEVEL IS LEVEL WITH THE UPPER MARKED
LINE ON THE DIPSTICK. THEN SCREW THE DIPSTICK BACK INTO
THE OIL FILL HOLE.
Before Starting the Generator
1. Check that the engine power switch is in its
Fuel tank capacity:15.0L(4 gallons)
“OFF” position.
2. Before the first use, remove the fuel
tank cap and fill the fuel tank with unleaded
gasoline. When fueling, be sure that the
fuel strainer is in place. Replace the fuel
tank cap. Thereafter, check the engine’s
fuel gauge for the amount of unleaded
gasoline in the fuel tank. If necessary,
refill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline;
the generator must be turned off and
cooled down before refilling the fuel tank.
Use gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
We recommend unleaded gasoling because it produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends
exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
