a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
b. Remove the Oil Fill cover
c. Unscrew the oil ller/dipstick cap from the engine.

Step 2 - Adding Oil
Model Number XP4500iH
Engine Oil Capacity 20 . oz (0.6 L)
WARNING: DO NOT overll the crankcase. This
may damage the motor and shorten the overall
life of your generator.
The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the package,
contains no oil in the crankcase
*
. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the
generator for the rst time. This amount is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase:
WARNING: Do not apply engine oils with additives or 2-stroke gasoline engine oils;
they don’t have enough lubrication and may shorten the engine’s service life.
Engine oil recommended: SAE 10W-30.
Viscosity varies with regions and temperatures. Choose your
oil viscosity using the chart to the left.
* A small amount of oil from factory testing may be present on
arrival.
* Synthetic oil may be used after the 8 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in
cold temperatures <5ºC (41ºF).
