If engine manufacturer’s recommended coolant is used, the flushing interval may be extended. See engine
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL.
**** Check the torque of the generator drive plate bolts after the first 250 hours of operation, then annually.
LIFTING THE GENERATOR
A large central lifting eye is located on the top of the generator.
The eye is connected to a central lifting frame inside the unit.
Attach a sling or hook directly to the lifting eye only if the devices
are in good condition and the equipment being used to raise the
unit has sufficient capacity. Approximate weights can be found
on pages 9 - 11. Always remain aware of others around you
when moving or lifting the generator. Keep the cabinet doors
closed and locked.
TOWING THE TRAILER
1. Use the jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and attach
the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Raise the jack foot completely.
2. Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the stop and signal lights.
3. Make sure all doors are properly latched.
4. Check for proper inflation of the trailer tires. Maximum tire pressures can be found on pages 9 - 11.
5. Check the wheel lugs. Tighten or replace any that are loose or missing. If a tire has been removed for axle service
or replaced, tighten the lugs in the order shown to the following specifications:
A. Start all lug nuts by hand.
B. First pass tighten to 20-25 Ft-Lbs (27-33 Nm).
C. Second pass tighten to 50-60 Ft-Lbs (67-81 Nm).
D. Third pass tighten to 90-120 Ft-Lbs (122-162 Nm).
After the first road use, re-torque the lug nuts in sequence.
6. Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 m.p.h. Recommended off-road towing speed is not to
exceed 10 m.p.h. or less depending on terrain.
TRAILER WHEEL BEARINGS
Some trailers are equipped with a grease zerk fitting to allow lubrication of the wheel bearings without the need to
disassemble the axle hub. To lubricate the axle bearings, remove the small rubber plug on the grease cap, attach a
standard grease gun fitting to the grease zerk fitting and pump grease into the fitting until new grease is visible around
the nozzle of the grease gun. Use only a high quality grease made specifically for lubrication of wheel bearings. Wipe
