Changing Oil
•
Run the generator until the engine is warm, then shut OFF.
•
Place generator on a firm and level surface, raised on blocks for easier access.
•
Remove the crankcase dipstick.
•
Place an oil pan underneath the oil drain hole to collect used oil.
•
Remove the oil drain plug and allow oil to drain completely.
•
Reinstall oil drain plug, tighten securely.
•
Carefully add SAE 30 or 10W-30 engine oil to empty reservoir until the oil reaches the threads of the oil fill hole
(Crankcase Dipstick hole).
•
Replace crankcase dipstick.
Oil Recommendations
•
Do not use special additives.
•
Operating temperatures can affect proper oil viscosity for the engine.
•
Use the chart (pg 19) to select the best viscosity for the operating temperature range expected.

Engine Oil Quantity:
Do not tilt generator when adding oil. This could result in overfilling or under filling which could

damage the engine.
Ensure no foreign matter enters the crankcase
CAUTION!
High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and
fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of
time, may increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the
carburetor. If you always operate your generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have your
dealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with the
carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-
meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on engine power will be greater than this if no carburetor
modification is made.
