PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE

Read and understand the information about the gasoline

engine in the OPERATION and MAINTENANCE sections of

this manual before you operate the POWER ARC 5000.

• Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT engine

parts.

• Stop the engine when fueling.

• Do not smoke when fueling.

• Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank.

• Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before

starting the engine.

• Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.

OIL

The POWER ARC 5000 is shipped with the engine filled

with SAE 10W-30 oil. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE

YOU START THE ENGINE. If the oil level is not at the

“FULL” mark on the dip-stick, add oil but do not overfill. Be

sure the dip-stick cap is tight. Change the oil after the

first 5 hours of operation.

For more oil fill and service information, see the Briggs &

Stratton Engine manual.

FUEL

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade

lead-free gasoline. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH

THE GASOLINE.

The POWER ARC 5000 has a plastic, 5.5 gallon (20.8 L) fuel

tank mounted above the generator. See the Briggs &

Stratton Engine manual for more details about fuel.

SPARK ARRESTER

Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine

is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark

arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could pre-

sent a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers do not act as spark arresters. When

local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on

the machine and properly maintained. An optional spark

arrester kit is available for your POWER ARC 5000. See the

ACCESSORIES section of this manual for more information.

An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to the

engine or reduce performance. A suitable spark arrester for

the Briggs & Stratton 11 HP Industrial Plus engine is avail-

able as a Lincoln field-installed option.
