8.4 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL - FIGS. 5 - 6
The motor of this generator is not filled with oil.
Prior to starting the motor ensure the crank case is
filled with SAE 30/10W-40 4 stroke oil.
Damage to the motor is not covered under warranty if
the motor is run without oil.
1. Before checking or refilling oil, be sure the
generator is put on a stable and level surface,
ensuring the engine has been switched OFF.
2. Remove the oil filter cap by rotating the cap
anti-clockwise and inspect to see the oil level
(Fig.6).
3. If the oil level is below the lower level line, refill
with SAE 30/10W-40 4 stroke oil to the upper level
line.
NOTE: Do not screw in the oil filler cap when
checking oil level, simply insert and pull the cap
straight out.
4. If the oil is contaminated or has discoloured, ensure
you change the oil. Refer to the ‘Engine oil
replacement’ section for instructions.
NOTE: This motor is fitted with a low oil sensor. If
the oil level is too low the motor will stop
operating or the motor will not start. It is advised
to check the oil level each time the generator is
used.
NEVER START THE GENERATOR WITH ANY LOAD
CONNECTED.
PLEASE NOTE: The first 25 hours of operation is
considered the break in period for the engine. During
this time operate at less than 75% of the load limit.
