3.2 Adding Engine Oil

The generator is shipped without engine oil. It is crucial to add the correct type and amount of oil before starting.

3. Add the recommended 4-stroke engine oil (refer to specifications for type and capacity) until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. Securely replace the oil fill cap.

3.3 Adding Fuel

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline. This is a 4-stroke engine, so gasoline and oil are separate.

1. Ensure the generator is turned off and cool.
2. Open the fuel tank cap.
3. Carefully pour unleaded gasoline into the fuel tank, avoiding overfilling. Leave some space for expansion.
4. Securely close the fuel tank cap.

Note: The image text "Gasoline : oil 50 : 1" suggests a 2-stroke mixture, but the product specifications clearly state "4-stroke engine". Follow the 4-stroke engine instructions for separate fuel and oil.
