OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT
Position the generator on a flat surface before checking fluid
levels or adding fluid.
CAUTION:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
filled with oil will result in equipment failure.
CHECKING/ADDING OIL
See Figure 3.
Engine oil has a major influence on engine performance and
service life. For general, all-temperature use, SAE 10W-40 is
recommended. Always use a 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ.
NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine oils will damage
the engine and should not be used.
Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-
thread.
Remove dipstick again and check oil level. Oil level should
fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
If level is low, add engine oil until the fluid level rises to
the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-
oxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If
you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak
into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or bat
-
tery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER:
Failure to properly ground generator can result in elec-
trocution, especially if the generator is equipped with a
wheel kit. National Electric Code requires generator to be
properly grounded to an approved earth ground. Call an
electrician for local grounding requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second

WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
