2.2.3 Starting a Local APU Test

Procedure:

1. Locate APU control board (mounted alongside the ECM).

2.2.2 Engine Lubrication

Check Engine lubrication Level Procedure:

Check the engine crankcase oil level. If necessary, add oil to fill it to

the FULL mark. DO NOT OVERFILL. Refer to the engine

manufacturers’ operator’s manual for proper fill capacities and oil

types. Ensure that the same brand of oil is used for topping the oil

level, as some oil manufacturer’s additives are not compatible with

each other. Never attempt to measure the oil level, or add oil, when

the engine is in operation.

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been serviced with the

recommended oil, or engine failure will result.

NOTE:

Refer to the Alpha 5 Generator OPERATOR’S manual

(p/n Tp-6076) provided by the manufacturer.
