warm before draining.

Other types of motor oils may be substituted if they meet
the following requirements:

Circuit Breakers

To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 110 amp,
main circuit breaker is provided to protect the U,V, and W
Output Terminals
from overload. In addition two single-pole,
20 amp

GFCI circuit breakers are provided to protect the

GFCI receptacles from overload. Three 50 amp

load circuit

breakers have also been provided to protect the auxiliary
receptacles from overload. Make sure to switch ALL circuit
breakers to the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Lubrication Oil

Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler
hole, but DO NOT overfill. Make sure the generator is level.
and verify that the oil level is maintained between the two
notches (Figure 31) on the dipstick. See Table 10 for proper
selection of engine oil.

Figure 32. Internal Fuel Tank System

The generator unit has an internal fuel tank located at the
bottom of the cabinet (Figure 32).

with clean and fresh

#2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel

tanks beyond their capacities.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel.The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not
have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
