4.2 Adding Engine Oil

The generator is shipped without engine oil. You must add the correct amount and type of oil before starting.

1. Place the generator on a level surface.
2. Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick.
3. Using the provided oil funnel, slowly add the recommended engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30) until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. Securely replace the oil fill cap/dipstick.

4.3 Adding Fuel

Use only fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 or mixed fuels.

1. Ensure the generator is off and cool.
2. Open the fuel tank cap.
3. Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, ensuring not to overfill. Leave a small air gap to allow for fuel expansion.
4. Securely close the fuel tank cap.

4.4 Grounding the Generator

For safety, always ground the generator before operation. Connect a grounding wire (not included) from the grounding terminal on the control panel to a suitable ground source, such as a ground rod.

5. Operation

5.1 Starting the Engine

1. Ensure the generator is on a level surface and properly grounded.
2. Turn the integrated ON/RUN/CHOKE knob to the 'CHOKE' position.
3. Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and smoothly until the engine starts.
4. Once the engine starts, slowly move the ON/RUN/CHOKE knob to the 'RUN' position.
5. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before connecting electrical devices.
