Check oil level before each operation and ensure that it is
maintained per Preparing the Generator; Engine Oil Capacity
section.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL:

Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation. Thereafter it
should be changed every 100 hours.
1. Make sure the unit is on level ground. Drain the used oil when
the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the
used oil, then remove the filler cap, drain bolt and washer.

bolt and new washer, and tighten the drain bolt securely.
Dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with
the environment.We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or down a drain.

on the dipstick with the recommended oil.
NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically
stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check the oil level
regularly.
