IINITIAL OIL FILL

NOTICE

THIS GENERATOR HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT 

OIL

 attempt to crank or start engine before 

it has been properly serviced with recommended oil. 

Failure to add engine oil before starting will result in 

serious engine damage.  

NOTICE

Use of 2-stroke/cycle oil or other unapproved oil types 

can cause severe engine damage that is not covered 

under warranty. 

The included, recommended oil type for typical use is 

10W-30 engine oil. If running the generator in extreme 

temperatures, refer to the following chart.

Oil Level Check in the Maintenance section. 

3.
