3.13.2 RETURN TO SERVICE

To return the unit to service after storage, proceed
as follows:

1. Check the tag on the engine for oil viscosity and

classification. Verify that the correct recommend-
ed oil is used in the engine (see the "Engine Oil
Requirements" section). If necessary, drain and
refill with the proper oil.

2. Check the state of the battery. Fill all cells of

unsealed batteries to the proper level with dis-
tilled water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN THE
BATTERY. Recharge the battery to 100 percent
state of charge, or, if defective, replace the battery.

3. Clean and wipe the entire generator.
4. Reconnect the battery. Observe battery polarity.

Damage may occur if the battery is connected
incorrectly.

5. Turn OFF all electrical loads. Add fuel if neces-

sary and then start the engine.

6. Allow the unit to warm up thoroughly.
7. Apply electrical loads to at least 50 percent of the

unit’s rated wattage capacity.

8. When the engine is thoroughly warmed up, shut

it down.

9. The generator is now ready for service.
