UNIT PREPARATION
Before your engine generator was shipped from our fac-
tory it was fully checked for performance. The generator
was load tested to its full capacity, and the voltage and
frequency were carefully checked and adjusted.
1. Lubrication - Before starting the engine, fi ll the crank-
case to the proper level with a good quality oil. The recom-
mended grade of oil and quantity of oil required is listed
below. The necessity of using the correct oil, and keeping
the crankcase full cannot be overemphasized. Engine
failures resulting from inadequate or improper lubricant are
considered abuse and are not covered by the generator or
the engine manufacturers warranty.
a. Make sure the engine is level
b. Remove the oil cap/dipstick (1) from either side
of the engine and wipe off with a clean cloth.
c. Fully re-insert oil cap/dipstick, but do not screw
in.
d. Remove oil cap/dipstick. The oil level should be
between the upper mark (2) and the lower mark
(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.
Over-tightening the oil cap/dipstick will damage it.

exhaust smoke, engine overspeed or internal
damage
Oil should be change after the fi rst 50 hours of operation
and every 200 hours there after. It should be checked
daily.
YANMAR recommends A. P. I. engine service classifi ca-
tion of CD or higher oil. Always use oil with the right vis-
cosity or the ambient temperature in which your engine is
being operated. USE the chart above when choosing you
engine oil. The YANMAR engine operators manual has
addition information on oil requirements.
2. Diesel Fuel - Always use a good grade of # 2 diesel
fuel. For cold weather, blended # 1 fuel may be used
Fuel cetane number should be 45 or higher and the fuel
MUST be low sulfur or ultra low sulfur fuel. See engine
operators manual for additional fuel recommendations
including Bio-Diesel fuel. Never use gasoline or gasohol.
Always insure that the fuel is clean and free of all impuri-
ties. Always be sure to keep the strainer in place when
fi lling the fuel tank.
