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 39) on the dipstick. See Table 11 for proper
selection of engine oil.
Fuel
Fill the fuel tank with clean and fresh diesel fuel. DO NOT
fill the tank beyond capacity.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 23,
Specification Table 7.
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.

CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION:
Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running or in the dark. Diesel spillage on a
hot engine can cause a fire or explosion.
If diesel spillage occurs, wipe up the spilled
diesel completely to prevent fire hazards.
Coolant
Use only drinkable tap water. If hard water or water with
many impurities is used, the inside of the engine and radiator
may become coated with deposits and cooling efficiency
will be reduced.
An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help prevent
deposits and corrosion in the cooling system. See the engine
manual for further details.
