Avocukiyom Small-Engine Oil

A bottle of the right small-engine oil for a generator — the first thing a new generator needs and the thing a standby unit needs changed on schedule, as clean oil is what keeps the engine alive through years of occasional heavy running. The common grade for four-stroke generator engines; filled and changed per the manual with the engine cool. Keep a bottle with the service parts.

• Type: four-stroke small-engine oil
• Use: first fill and scheduled oil changes
• Note: use the grade and interval in the manual; engine cool

A spare part or accessory for a generator. Fit with the engine off and cold and the spark plug lead disconnected, and match the part to your model. Electrical connection to home wiring is only ever through a transfer switch fitted by a qualified electrician — never through a socket.
