ADDING ENGINE OIL
1. Always operate or maintain the inverter on a at
surface.
2. Stop engine if running.
3. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow
crankcase pressure to equalize).
4. Remove the engine service panel to gain access to
the oil ll/drain plug.
5. Thoroughly clean around the oil ll/drain plug.
6. Remove the oil ll/drain plug.
7. Select the proper engine oil as specied in Figure 10.

to the engine. Stop frequently to check the oil level
and avoid overlling.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
1. Stop the engine.
2. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow
crankcase pressure to equalize).
3. Remove the oil service panel to gain access to the
oil ll/drain plug.
4. Place oil pan (or suitable container) under the
rubber plug just below the oil ll/drain cap.
5. Unscrew the rubber plug so the oil can drain out
the bottom of the generator.
6. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the oil drain bolt
(pictured below) to allow oil to drain.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL
NOTICE
Always maintain proper engine oil level. Failure to
maintain proper engine oil level could result in severe
damage to the engine and/or shorten the life of the
engine.
Always use the specied engine oil. Failure to use the
specied engine oil can cause accelerated wear and/
or shorten the life of the engine.
Engine oil level should be checked before every use.
1. Always operate or maintain the inverter on a at
surface.
2. Stop engine if running.
3. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow
crankcase pressure to equalize).
4. Remove the oil service panel to access the oil ll/
drain plug (see Figure 3 in Initial Oil Fill section).
5. With a damp rag, clean around the oil ll/drain plug.
6. Remove the oil ll/drain plug.
7. Check oil level: When checking the engine oil, remove
the oil ll/ drain plug (see Figure 4 Initial Oil Fill
section).
• The oil level is acceptable if oil is visible at the
bottom of the threads of the oil ll plug.
• If oil level is low, add to the correct level using
the supplied oil ll bottle. Do not overll the oil
crankcase.
NOTICE
Engine oil must always be checked and added when the inverter is
on a at, level surface, or an inaccurate reading may result, causing
serious engine damage.
