Checking Engine Oil Level
NOTICE: It is important to be careful when checking engine
oil level. Oil must be maintained between the "ADD" and
the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. To ensure that you are not
getting a false reading, make sure the following steps are
taken before checking the oil level.
1. Stop engine.
2. Turn the generator off.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.
4. Allow approximately five minutes for the oil to drain
back into the oil pan.
5. Remove the dipstick. Wipe with a clean cloth or paper
towel and reinstall. Push the dipstick all the way into the
dipstick tube.
6. Remove the dipstick and note the amount of oil on the
dipstick. The oil level must be between the "ADD" and
"FULL" marks.
7. If the oil level is below the "ADD" mark, reinstall the
dipstick and proceed to step 6.
8. Remove the oil filler cap from the valve cover.
9. Add the required amount of oil to bring the level up to,
but not over, the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Reinstall
the oil filler cap to the valve rocker arm cover and wipe
any excess oil clean.

Change oil while the engine is still warm from running.
1. Turn the generator off.
2. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.
3. Place oil drain hose (B) into an approved container.
4. Open valve (A) located on bottom of oil pan.
5. When oil has drained, replace brass fitting on hose.
6. Remove oil filter and dispose of properly.
7. Before installing a new oil filter, lightly lubricate the oil
filter gasket with fresh, clean oil.
8. Install the oil filter by hand until the gasket contacts the
oil filter adapter, then tighten the oil filter ½ to ¾ turn.
9. Add the required amount of oil to bring the level up to,
but not over the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Reinstall
the oil filler cap to valve rocker arm cover and wipe any
excess oil clean.
10. If all engine servicing is complete, replace 15 Amp fuse
in control panel and and turn the generator on and place
in AUTO mode.
To make the task of adding oil more convenient, we
recommend use of a funnel attached to a length of tubing
long enough to reach from the Coolant Fill door to the oil fill
opening on the engine valve cover.
