2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the stick on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the cap and then remove again.
There should now be oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil only at
the very end of the stick, you should add oil until the engine crankcase is filled
(see "Changing/Adding Oil" portion of the "Maintenance" section).
5. Be sure to replace cap when finished checking oil.
NOTE: The oil capacity for your generator can be found in the "Specifications" section of
this manual
Step 2 – Check the Gas Level
Before starting the generator, check to see that there is sufficient gasoline in the gas
tank. The fuel gauge on top of the generator will indicate the gas level in the tank. Add
gas if necessary according to the steps in the "Adding Gasoline" portion of the
"Maintenance" section.
WARNING: Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable.
• Do not fill tank near an open flame.
• Always allow engine to cool for several minutes before refueling.
• Do not overfill (check the "Specifications" section for the tank capacity of
your generator). Always check for fuel spills.
IMPORTANT:
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or 98 or higher.
• Do not use old gas.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
• Never store generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.
Step 3- Ground the Generator
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire (see
figure 6). A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire. This grounding wire should be connected at the other
end to a copper or brass grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the
grounding regulations for your area.
