4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Placement

1. Carefully remove the generator from its packaging.
2. Place the generator on a firm, level surface outdoors, away from windows, doors, and vents. Ensure at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space around the generator for proper ventilation.

4.2 Adding Engine Oil

The generator is shipped without engine oil. Operating without oil will cause severe engine damage.

1. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
2. Add the recommended engine oil (refer to specifications for type and capacity) until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the oil fill cap/dipstick securely.

4.3 Adding Fuel

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

1. Ensure the generator engine is off and cool.
2. Open the fuel tank cap.
3. Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, avoiding spills. Do not fill above the red indicator or the bottom of the filler neck.
4. Securely close the fuel tank cap.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting the Generator
