SECTION 2. PREPARATION FOR USE, STORAGE, OR SHIPPING
1. Preparation for Use
A. General
These instructions are based on the assumption that the unit is properly installed and that all neces-
sary fuel and electrical connections have been made. Generator sets for stationary mounting are in-
stalled by the customer. Other generator sets, when ordered with truck or trailer, are mounted at the
Hobart factory and are shipped in running condition and ready for operation after inspection and
check.
WARNING: IMPROPER OPERATION CAN KILL, INJURE, OR CAUSE DAM-
AGE! READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 1-
3 BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT.
B. Inspection/Check
Inspect the unit thoroughly prior to operation.
(1) Remove blocking, banding, ties, and other securing material.
(2) Inspect exterior for shipping damage such broken lights, damaged sheet metal, etc.
(3) Open all canopy doors and inspect interior for foreign material such as rags, tools, shipping pa-
pers, etc.
(4) Check fuel, coolant, and oil hoses and connections for visible leaks. Visually inspect the compart-
ment floor and ground surface under the unit for signs of leakage. If leaks are found, correct by tight-
ening hose clamps, tube fittings, etc., as required.
(5) Check the following for sufficient quantity:
(a) Fuel
Turn ON panel lights to energize fuel gage when engine is stopped.
(b) Engine coolant
The radiator cap is accessible by opening the hinged access cover on the front canopy housing.
Coolant level should be approximately one inch below the filler neck. Allow a capacity for coolant
expansion.
CAUTION: BE SURE THE COOLING SYSTEM ANTIFREEZE SOLUTION IS ADEQUATE TO PRO-
TECT BELOW LOWEST TEMPERATURE EXPECTED.
NOTE: For antifreeze protection, use a solution of 50% permanent antifreeze (Ethylene glycol) and 50%
clean water.
(c) Engine lubricating oil
Oil level should be at “FULL” mark on oil level gage rod. See the Perkins Shop Manual for oil rec-
ommendations.
