ASSEMBLY
This unit ships from our factory without oil. It must be
properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please
have your serial number and model number available.
Unboxing
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the
generator.
3. Using the frame of the unit, carefully remove
the generator from the box. (two people lifting is
recommended)
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the generator as
a result of failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
CAUTION
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to
the Maintenance section for recommended service
intervals.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.

We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be
the break-in period for the unit. During the break
in period stay at or below 50% of the running
watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the
load will also cause engine speed to vary and help
seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
