INSTALLATION

 cont.

NOTICE 

Any attempt to crank or start the engine 

before it has been properly serviced with the 

recommended oil will result in equipment failure

Service Code Detection System

The generator may have to run for long periods of time with 

no operator present. For this reason, the system is equipped 

with sensors that automatically shut down the generator 

in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as 

low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other 

conditions. Refer to 

Service Code Detection System

 in 

the Operator’s Manual for more detailed information. 

Final Installation Considerations

Engine Oil

Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this 

instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled 

with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This allows for system 

operation in a wide range of temperature and climate 

conditions. Check oil level before starting engine. 

 

The use of synthetic oil does not alter the required oil 

change intervals described in Operator’s Manual. 

 

For operation of temperatures below -1°C, the use of 

fully synthetic oil (minimum API SJ) of viscosity 5W30 is 

required. 

 

 

Battery

The installer must supply and install a rechargeable 

starting battery. The starting battery MUST conform to the 

specifications shown below in the chart.

WARNING

Storage batteries 

give off explosive hydrogen gas during 

recharging. The slightest spark will ignite 

hydrogen and cause explosion, resulting in 

death or serious injury. 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. 

Before installing and/or servicing battery: 

DO
•  Do

 use tools with insulated handles. 

•  Do

 wear PPE (Personal Protective 

Equipment) of protective goggles, rubber 

apron, rubber boots and rubber gloves.

•  Do

 remove all metal objects, such as 

jewelry, watches or rings. 

•  Do

 recycle battery through your local 

recycling company.

DO NOT
•  Do not

 dispose of battery in a fire.

•  Do not

 allow an open flame, spark, heat, or 

lit cigarette in vicinity during and for several 

minutes after servicing a battery.

•  Do not

 open or mutilate battery.
