circuits to be powered during the outage to the emer-
gency panel. Keep in mind only a limited amount of
amperage is available from the generator set. Some
circuit breakers may still have to be turned off to
prevent an overload on the generator during the initial
start up. See the nameplate on your generator for
the amperage capabilities of your unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load ap-
plied to the generator will cause the generator to
produce low voltage and may damage the engine
generator set. It may also cause severe damage to
the loads connected to the generator at that time. Im-
proper loading of the generator set constitutes abuse
and will not be covered by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required, contact
an authorized engine service center. The manufac-
turer of these engines has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization. Engine ser-
vice is very likely available from a nearby authorized
dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory under “Engines-Gasoline”
for the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer
from whom you purchased the power plant.
1. Change the oil after the fi rst 20 hours of opera-
tion and yearly or 100 hours thereafter under normal
operating conditions. Change engine oil every 50
hours of operation if the engine is operated under
heavy load, or in high ambient temperatures.
a. Start the engine and warm it up, stop the engine
and remove the spark plug wire to prevent it
from accidently being started.
b. Remove oil drain bolt at base of the engine
and drain the oil into an approved container.
c. Replace oil drain bolt making sure the sealing
washer is in place..
d. With the engine in a level position, fi ll with new
oil. Refer to the table on page 5 for the proper
grade of oil.
NOTE: This engine requires 19 to 20 ounces of oil
if it is completely drained. Use caution when refi lling
the engine as some residual oil may have remained
in the engine. Always use the dipstick when fi lling
the engine with oil to prevent overfi lling.
e. Replace
fi ller plug.
f Start the engine up and warm it up.
h. After warming up the engine, recheck the oil
level and refi ll as necessary to bring it to the
proper level.
2. Checking the Oil Level: The oil level must al-
ways be checked before the engine is started. Take
care to remove any dirt or debris from around the
oil fi ll plug before removing. Be sure the oil level is
maintained. Fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.
3. Dual Element Air Filter: Clean and/or replace
foam pre-cleaner and air fi lter annually or every 100
hours. Service more often under dusty conditions.
