Run the generator for the first 5 hours with a varied load (not at 100% capacity), and then perform an oil change immediately after this period to remove any fine metal shavings from the manufacturing process. This significantly extends the life of your V-Twin engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutlet Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Keep the outlet covers closed whenever the generator is not in use.
