Serial number and bar code identification and location

The generator serial number identifies your particular unit and is important when
ordering parts and accessories. The bar code is used by your dealer and Coast
Distribution for warranty administration.

The serial number can be found stamped
on the engine block above oil dipstick. It
is visible when the service access door is
removed.

The bar code label is found in three
locations: on the bottom of the generator,
on the packing carton, and on the inside
cover of the operator’s manual.

4. PRE-OPERATION CHECK

■ Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped.

1. Check the engine oil level.

■ Using non detergent oil or 2 cycle engine oil could shorten the engine's service life.

Use a high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed U.S.
automobile manufacturer's requirements for API Service Classification SG/SF. Select the
appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area.

SAE Viscosity Grades

Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover. Remove the oil filler cap,
and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick in the filler hole
without screwing it in.
If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill the recommended oil up to the top of the oil
filler neck.

■ Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

NOTE: The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls

below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still
advisable to visually inspect the oil level regularly.
You must screw down the dipstick completely to measure the oil level.

2. Check the fuel level.

Use automotive unleaded regular gasoline only.

If the fuel level is low, refill the fuel tank until the level reaches the specif ied mark.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap secur ely.

■ Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

■ Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep all smoking materials, sparks,

and any other source of combustion away from the generator during refueling.

■ Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark). After
refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properl y and secure ly.

■ Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite, If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engin e.

■ Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.

Fuel tank capacity: 0.9 gal (3. 4 liters)

Gasoline containing alternate fuels

If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol, be sure its octane rating is lower than the
specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 15% ethanol. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol.

■ Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that
contain an improper alcohol blend are not covered under warranty.

■ Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, Determine if the fuel contains ethanol and if it
does, confirm the type and percentage of ethanol used. If you notice any undesirable
operating symptoms while using a gasoline that contains ethanol, or one that you think
contains ethanol, replace it by a gasoline that you know has the proper ble nd.
