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 (A),
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 (B) as shown in Fig B. Add only oil of the same
specification as the oil already in the engine.
