BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Add Oil
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SG, SF/CC, CD. Select the oil's
viscosity grade according to your expected operating
temperature:
colder _ 32°F ._warmer
SAE lOW30 SAE 30
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general all temperature
use. Multi-viscosity oils (lOW30, etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, but these oils will result in increasedoil
consumption. Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible damagefrom running low on oil.
To Add Engine Oil:
• Placethe generator on a level surface.
• Remove the oil fill cover.
• Remove oil filler cap and wipe dipstick clean (Figure I).
Oil Filler Neck
• If the oil level is not at the point of overflowing from the
oil filler neck, slowly fill engine with recommended oil.
• Reinstall oil filler cap and tighten securely.
• Replacethe oil fill cover.
• Check the engine oil level before starting each time
thereafter.
Add Fuel
A ARNING! NEVERfill fuel tank indoors.NEVER
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Allow unit
to cool for two minutes before refueling. DO NOT
light a cigarette or smoke when fillingthe fuel tank.
_IL WARNING! DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Use clean fresh UNLEADED fuel with a pump rating of
86 or higher. DO NOT use premium or leaded fuel. DO
NOT mix oil with fuel.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Check the fuel level.
• If fuel level is low, slowly add recommended fuel to fuel
tank, up to the shoulder of the fuel strainer (Figure 2).
Be careful not to overfill (there should be no fuel in the
filler neck).
NOTE: Occasionally clear the fuel strainer of any dirt,
rust, or other particulate matter.
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
Occasionally you may hear a light "spark knock" or
"pinging" (metallic rapping noise) while operating under
heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark knock or
pinging occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load,
change brands of fuel or obtain a higher octane rated fuel.
If pinging or spark knock persists, see your local Briggs &
Stratton repair center.
