2. Oil and Gasoline

Add Engine Oil

We recommend using FIRMAN SAE 10W-30 API SJ oil for best performance. Other high-quality

detergent oils (API SJ or higher) are acceptable. Do not use special additives. Ambient temperature

determines the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the proper oil for the

outdoor temperature range expected.

NOTICE Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the

recommended type and amount of oil. Damage due to operation with no oil will void your warranty.

4. Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of provided oil bottle into oil fill opening until oil reaches

upper limit "H" mark on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Overfilling could cause engine

starting problems or engine damage.

5.Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.

6.Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil

level maintained.

The portable generator is equipped with a low oil shutdown. If the oil level drops below the

minimum required level, a sensor will activate an internal switch stopping the engine. If the

engine shuts off and the oil level is within specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an

angle. Place portable generator on an even surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil

level may not be high enough to deactivate the internal low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is

completely full of oil to the upper limit (H). Do not operate engine until oil level issue is corrected.

Operation at High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane gasoline is acceptable.

Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet (305 m)

of elevation above sea level. High altitude may cause hard starting, increased fuel consumption

and sparkplug fouling. To operate at high altitudes FIRMAN can provide a high altitude carburetor

main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting

Customer Support.

NOTICE Operation using an alternative main jet at elevations lower than the recommended

minimum altitude can damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations, the standard main

jet supplied must be used. Operating the engine with the wrong main jet may increase exhaust

Surge Protection

There is a remote chance that voltage fluctuations may impair the proper functioning of some

sensitive electronic equipment. Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable

appliances may use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and

may be affected by the portable generator’s momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no

way to prevent all voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect your sensitive electronic

equipment. Install a plug-in surge suppressor on the receptacles feeding your sensitive equipment.

Surge suppressors come in single or multi-outlet styles. They are designed to protect against short

duration voltage fluctuations.
