Maintenance
•
Check the coolant level daily by inspecting the
level in coolant overflow jug located near the
radiator. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for
coolant recommendations and proper mixture.
Normal operating level is between the ‘full’ and
‘add’ markings on the overflow jug.
•
AFTER ENGINE IS STOPPED AND
COMPLETELY COOL , coolant may be added
directly to the coolant overflow jug.
•
Check the oil level daily. Refer to the engine
operator’s manual for the appropriate oil specification.
Verify the oil is correct for special operating conditions
such as a change in season or climate.
•
DO NOT start the unit if the engine oil level is below
the add mark on the dipstick.
•
Normal operating level is in the cross-hatch pattern
between the full and add markings on the dipstick.
•
Add oil only if the oil level is below the add mark on
the bottom of the cross-hatch pattern on the dipstick.
DO NOT OVERFILL the crankcase.
•
Check the fuel level.
•
If the unit is connected to a remote start or transfer
switch, make sure the remote switch is also off and
tagged.
NOTE: If the engine was run out of fuel or the fuel tank
was drained, it may be necessary to bleed the fuel lines.
Refer to the engine operator’s manual supplied with the
unit.
