PRE-OPERATION CHECK
To carry out this series of checks, place the generating set on stable and horizontal
ground, with the engine off and the spark plug cap removed.
Be careful not to touch the hot metallic parts of the engine when checking the oil level.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
CAUTION :
• The engine oil is an important factor which affects the engine’s performance and its
operational life.
• Running the engine with insufficient oil can seriously damage the engine.
• Use of non-detergent or vegetable oils is not recommended.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil or a highly detergent engine oil of equivalent quality, classified as API
categories SG, SF, CC or CD. SAE 10W30 oil is recommended for general use at all
temperatures, but it is suggested that a viscosity appropriate to the average temperature in
the area of use is chosen from the table.
1. Remove the oil filler cap [1] and wipe the
dipstick [2] with a clean cloth.
2. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole without
screwing it in.
3. If the level is too low, add the recommended oil
until the level reaches the top of the filler neck.
