Oil
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG,
SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for
the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
wARNING
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF
ENERGY CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable
oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.
checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill, remove oil cap/dipstick
and wipe dipstick with clean cloth. Replace dipstick.
Remove and and check oil level.
NOTE: DO NOT screw in dipstick when checking oil level.
3. Verify oil is at "Full" mark (E) on dipstick. Replace and
tighten oil cap/dipstick.

Adding Engine Oil
1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.
2. Check oil level as described in Checking Oil Level.
3. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the
"Full" mark on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.
NOTIcE
Overfilling with oil may cause the engine to not start, or
hard starting.
• DO NOT overfill.
• If over the FULL mark on dipstick, drain oil to reduce oil level to
FULL mark on dipstick.
4. Replace and tighten oil cap/dipstick.
