BEFORE OPERATION
Check the Engine
• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or
gasoline leaks.
• Check the engine oil level (see page 51). A low engine oil level will cause the
Oil Alert system to shut down the engine.
• Check the air filters (see page 54). Dirty air filters will restrict air flow to the fuel
system, reducing engine and generator performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 49). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
Battery Maintenance Cover
Never operate the generator with the battery maintenance cover open, as poor
engine and generator performance will result.
