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

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.
