Prior to checking the oil level, start the generator by
moving the Mode switch on the control panel to the RUN
position. Allow the generator to run for one or two
minutes, then shut it down by returning the switch to the
OFF position. After the engine comes to a stop let the
engine set for a couple of minutes before checking the oil
level. Begin the level check by removing the dipstick (B),
wiping it clean, then reinserting it into the engine.
Remove the dipstick a second time, checking that the oil
level falls between the upper and lower limit marks on
the end of the dipstick, as shown in Fig. A. Adjust engine
oil level as required so the level is at the upper limit mark
on the dipstick, adding oil to the engine through the oil fill
cap (A) as shown in Fig B. Add only oil of the same
specification as the oil already in the engine.

• Before performing any maintenance, make sure
the Mode switch is in the OFF position, the
circuit breaker is in the OFF position and the
positive (red) battery cable is disconnected.
• Generator/engine components are hot to the
touch when operating. To prevent burns to the
skin allow unit to cool before touching internal
generator or engine components.
• Crankcase pressure can blow hot engine oil out
the fill opening causing severe burns. Always
stop the generator before removing the oil fill
cap.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive
belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts.
Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while
the unit is operating.
• Hot coolant under pressure in radiator can
cause severe burns. Allow radiator to cool
completely before removing cap. Eye protection
should be used.
• Generator output connections must be made by
a qualified electrician in accordance with
applicable codes.
• Engine heater (optional) can cause electrical
shock. Remove engine heater plug from
electrical outlet before working on heater
connections.
• Improper service or replacement of parts can
lead to severe personal injury or death and to
damage to equipment and property. Service
personnel must be qualified to perform
electrical and mechanical service.
• Use caution when working on live electrical
equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure clothing
and shoes are dry and stand on a dry wooden
platform.
• When performing a high voltage test, hazardous
voltage can cause severe injury or death.
Follow the instructions of the test equipment
manufacturer when performing high-voltage
tests on the rotor or stator. An improper test
procedure can damage equipment or lead to
generator set failure.
• State and federal agencies have determined that
contact with used engine oil can cause cancer
or reproductive toxicity. Take care to limit skin
contact and breathing of vapors as much as
possible. Use rubber gloves and wash exposed
skin.
