ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE FLUIDS AND FUEL

BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE STOP FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.

DANGER
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while the generator is running can cause gasoline to leak and come in contact with hot surfaces that can ignite the gasoline.

Before starting the generator, always check the level of:

• Engine oil
• Gasoline in the fuel tank

Once the generator is started and the engine gets warm, it is not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank or engine oil to the engine while the engine is running or the engine and muffler are hot.

CHECKING AND/ OR ADDING ENGINE OIL

WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the engine crankcase while the engine is running. Removing the oil fill plug/ dipstick while the engine is hot can cause extremely hot oil to spray out of the crankcase and can severely burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for several minutes before removing the oil fill plug/dipstick. The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine. You must add engine oil before starting the generator for the first time. See Initial Oil Fill on page 13 for instructions on checking engine oil level and the procedure for adding engine oil.

NOTICE
The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped. Attempting to start the engine without adding engine oil will permanently damage internal engine components. The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown switch. If the oil level becomes low, the engine may shut down and not start until the oil is filled to the proper level. The owner of the generator is responsible to ensure the proper oil level is maintained during the operation of the generator. Failure to maintain the proper oil level can result in engine damage.
