Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil

generator with the dipstick located below the oil
filler cap. Simply pull the dipstick out and the
indicated oil level is on the end of the stick.
Replace oil filler cap.
WARNING: DO NOT overfill the crankcase. This
may damage the motor and shorten the overall
life of your generator.
