WARNING:

Before Starting

Engine

1. Check the lubricating oil level prior to starting the engine.

Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be
maintained between two notches on the dipstick.

2. When there is not enough lubricating oil, fill the crankcase

with high grade motor oil. Use a high quality detergent
oil classified CC or higher (See Table 11 on page 43).

3. Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank.

Replenish with antifreeze as necessary. Always maintain
the coolant level between the FULL and LOW markings
on the coolant container. Be sure that the radiator cap is
fastened securely.

4. Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge. If fuel is low, fill

the fuel tank with clean fresh unleaded automotive diesel.
If diesel spillage occurs, completely wipe up the spilled
fuel immediately.
