WARNING
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas during recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen
and cause explosion, resulting in death, serious injury and/
or property damage. Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid
and is extremely caustic. Contact with battery contents
could cause severe chemical burns. A battery presents a
risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
• DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit
cigarette during and for several minutes after charging
a battery.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots
and rubber gloves.
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools having insulated handles.

Final Installation Considerations

Installation Inspection
Before placing the generator system into service, review the
instructions while carefully inspecting the entire installation
to ensure the installation is complete and correct.

Engine Oil

NOTICE
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will
result in engine failure, which will not be covered under the
warranty.
The engine is shipped from the factory filled with non-
synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for system
operation in a wide range of temperatures and climate
conditions. Before starting the engine, check the oil level as
described under Engine Maintenance in the Maintenance
section.

Coolant System

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50/50
mix of automotive (ethylene glycol) anti-freeze and water.
This will provide optimum year-round protection against
freezing, boiling, and corrosion.
The generator is equipped with a coolant heater that
operates with a fixed thermostat set at 80°F - 100°F (27°C
- 38°C). Utility power must be present at the customer-
supplied power connection for the heater to operate. Before
starting the engine, check the coolant level as described
under Engine Maintenance in the Maintenance section.

Fuel Supply System

Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure, and
without leaks. Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are
OPEN and that adequate fuel pressure is available.
