in the engine. Always use the dipstick when filling

the engine with oil to prevent overfilling.

and dispose of fuel vapors created in the fuel tank /

GENERATOR CARE

Proper care and maintenance of the generator is

necessary to ensure a long trouble free life.

Exercising The Generator - The generator

should be operated every three to four weeks. It

should be operated for a period of time sufficient

to warm the unit up and to dry out any moisture

that has accumulated in the windings. If left, this

moisture can cause corrosion in the winding. Fre-

quent operation of the engine generator set will also

insure that the set is operating properly should it be

needed in an emergency.
