2. Motoröl nachfüllen
The generator is shipped without engine oil. Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick. Using the provided funnel, carefully add the recommended engine oil (typically 10W-30, a quart is often included with the generator) until it reaches the 'Full' mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
