PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE

Using this Generator for the First-Time
STOP!
The following section describes the required steps for preparing this generator for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps
can damage this generator and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call

If this generator is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation:

Step 1 - Add Oil

This generator requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. When new from
the package, this generator contains no oil in the engine crankcase. Add the correct quantity of oil before operating this generator for the first time.
When replenishing oil for subsequent use of this generator, always determine that this generator has the correct quantity of oil.
Oil Capacity
Oil Type Recommended
To add oil:
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. There are TWO oil filler/dipsticks located on either side of the generator. Unscrew either oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in
Figure 1A.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended for general, all-
temperature use. When the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach all the way up to the threads as illustrated in Figure 2.
4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap.
Step 2 – Connect Fuel
Sulfur, water, dust, etc. are harmful for engine. If the gas supply source (LPG) contains these harmful elements, user must use filter to remove sulfur,
water etc. and clean gas. Otherwise, the engine service lifetime will be shortened.
Choose either LPG, Natural Gas or Gasoline fuel. If using LPG gas, first connect the regulator hose that was included with the generator to the
Propane Fuel Tank. Then connect the other end to the Gas Inlet. Make sure the LPG cylinder is vertical and securely positioned. (LPG Tank not
included). If using Natural Gas, contact a qualified NG technician before installation. The included regulator is ONLY for use with LPG tanks
If using gasoline fuel, add Unleaded gasoline only with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Maximum Capacity: 7.4 Gallons
