a. Make sure the engine is level
b. Remove the oilcap/dipstick (ref 1) from either side of
the engine and wipe off with a clean cloth.
c. Fully re-insert oil cap/deipstick, but do not screw in.
d. Remove oil cap/dipstick. The oil level should be
between the upper mark (ref 2) and the lower mark (ref
3) on the oil cap/dipstick.
e. Fill engine with proper grade and weight of oil.
f.
Fully reinsert oil cap/dipstick and hand tighten. Ove-
tightening the oil cap/dipstick will damage it.
Oil should be change after the first 50 hours of operation
and every 100 hours there after. It should be checked
daily.
2. Diesel Fuel and Fuel Line Connections - Always use a
good grade of # 2 diesel fuel. For cold weather, blended #
1 fuel may be used - See engine operators manual for
recommendations. Never use gasoline or gasohol.
Always insure that the fuel is clean and free of all
impurities.
WARNING: FIRE
Diesel fuel is flammable and can be ignited to cause or
enlarge fires when proper precautions are not taken.
Never use fuel that has been stored for an extended
period of time. Fuel will lose its volatile properties and you
will be left with a ‘gum’ / varnish residue. This varnish like
substance will clog the filters, fuel lines and injectors. Old,
contaminated, stale fuel will not burn properly. The use of
a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent will
minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits. If a unit has
been out of operation for an extended period of time, it is
best to drain old fuel from the engine and replace with
fresh fuel before attempting to start.
3. Battery connection - All electric start engine generator
sets are shipped with a battery kit for customer
installation. This kit consists of a battery rack, battery tie
down, battery cables, and instruction sheet for installation.
After installing the battery rack, file the instruction sheet in
the back of this manual for future reference.
A twelve volt battery, group U1 rated at 300 CCA or larger
is recommended for this electric start engine generator
set. Follow the battery manufacturers recommendations
for servicing and charging prior to use. Connect the
battery to the electric start system using the cables
provided.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
These electric start engines are NEGATIVE GROUND.
Use extreme caution when connecting the battery.
Connect the NEGATIVE battery terminal to GROUND.
For your safety always connect the positive battery cable to
the “bat+” terminal first. Then connect the negative battery
cable to the “bat-” terminal. Make sure all connections are
clean and tight. Reverse the sequence when
disconnecting, disconnect the negative cable first.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
Lead acid batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas when
charging. Keep sparks, flames, and burning cigarettes
away from the battery. Ventilate the area when charging or
using the battery in an enclosed space. Lead acid
batteries contain sulfuric acid, which causes severe burns.
If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush well with water.
For contact with eyes, get immediate medical attention.
