2.7 BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

Prior to operating the generator, engine oil and gasoline will need
to be added, as follows:

2.7.1 ADDING ENGINE OIL

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
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil may
result in an engine failure.

• Place generator on a level surface.
• Clean area 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.
(Engine oil is full when level is up to the threads of the oil fill
plug, see Figure 8)
• Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.
• Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.
