StatStation™
The StatStation™ displays the nominal load on generator
based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance
reminder.
Wattage Monitor Operation
The display is two seven-segment LEDs that provide an
easy-to-read indication of the amount of power being
supplied by the generator. The load monitor displays the
generator's output as a percentage.
As generator load increases, the display values will increase.
When the displayed values begin flashing, the user should
stop adding electrical loads to the generator.
If the power usage becomes too high, the letters "OL" (for
Over Load) will flash on the display. The user should reduce
the amount of load attached to the generator.
Maintenance Reminder
The LED will display certain codes to alert you to check oil,
change oil, check or replace air filter and check or replace
spark plug. The following codes will display:
"C1" Check oil at 8 hour increments
"C2" Change oil at 50 hour increments
"C3" Check or replace air filter at 25 hour increments
"C4" Check or replace spark plug at 100 hour increments
To take advantage of the StatStation "maintenance reminder"
capabilities, the user must press the reset button after
completing the maintenance called for in the displayed code
(C1, C2, C3, or C4). This results in a display of "Co" or "CA",
depending on how long the button is pressed:
1) "Co" - Pressing the reset button once quickly will
display "Co" (clearing to zero). This will clear any
maintenance codes that have elapsed up to that point
and they will begin timing again from zero.
2) "CA" - Pressing and holding the reset button for
2 seconds will display "CA" (clearing all). This clears all
maintenance codes, even if they have not yet reached
their service point, and they will begin timing again
from zero.
If nominal load and maintenance codes appear
simultaneously, the LED shall display, alternately, the
nominal load and code as follows:
The code will display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The
load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

Engine Maintenance
WARNING Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR
GENERATOR
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
Oil
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG,
SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for
the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
NOTICE Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol with
"SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING" or higher, is an
acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic
oil does not alter required oil change intervals.
