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 12.

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 oil ll/
drain plug.
5. Remove oil ll/drain plug. With a damp rag, thor-
oughly clean around the oil ll/drain plug.
6. Insert provided funnel around oil ll/drain and

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 on page 11).
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 on page 11).
• The oil level is acceptable if oil is visible at the
