• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
three times more watts of power for starting than for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
such motors. Makesureto allow for high starting wattagewhen
selecting electricaldevicesto connectto the generator:
1. Figurethe watts neededto start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
The WattageReferenceGuide is providedto assist in determining
how many items the generatorcan operateat one time.

2.8 BEFORE STARTING THEGENERATOR
Prior to operatingthe generator,engine oil and gasolinewill need
to be added, as follows:
2.8.1 ADD/NGENG/NE O/L
All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API)
Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select
the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating
temperature(also see chart).
• Above 40° F,use SAE 30
• Below 40° F and down to 10° F,use 10W-30
• Below 10° F, use synthetic 5W-30

Temperature Range of Expected Use
,&,CAUTION!
_t ny attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine
failure.
• Place generatoron a level surface (not to exceed 15° in any
direction).
• Cleanarea around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.
• Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil fill opening until it
reaches the full mark. Stop filling occasionally to check oil
level. Engineoil is full when level is up to the threads of the oil
fill plug (Figure9).
• Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
• Check engineoil level beforestarting eachtime thereafter.
