4.3 — Checking Engine Oil Level
When power outages necessitate running the generator for extended periods, the oil level should be checked daily. To check the engine oil level:
1. If the generator is running during a utility outage, first turn OFF all associated loads running in the residence using the electrical panel's main
disconnect. Then, turn the generator's Main Circuit Breaker to the OFF position.
2. Press the Control Panel OFF button. Wait 5 minutes.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Completely insert the dipstick and again remove it.
5. Observe the oil level. The level should be at the "Full" mark on the dipstick.
6. If necessary, remove the oil fill cap and add oil to the engine until the level reaches the "Full" mark and reinsert the dipstick and fill cap.
7. Press the Control Panel AUTO button.
8. If the generator was running during a utility outage, first turn the Main Circuit Breaker to the ON position. Then, turn ON the needed loads in
the residence.
* Never operate the engine with the oil level below the "Add" mark on the dipstick. Doing so could damage the
engine.
* Hot oil may cause burns. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin exposure with used oil. Thoroughly wash exposed
areas with soap.
