Before Starting
Engine
1. Check the lubricating oil level prior to starting the engine.
Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be
maintained between two notches on the dipstick.
2. When there is not enough lubricating oil, fill the crankcase
with high grade motor oil. Use a high quality detergent
oil classified CC or higher (See Table 7 on page 29).
3. Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank.
Replenish with antifreeze as necessary. Always maintain
the coolant level between the
FULL
and
LOW
markings
on the coolant container. Be sure that the radiator cap is
fastened securely.
4. Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge. If fuel is low, fill
the fuel tank with clean fresh unleaded automotive diesel
fuel. If fuel spillage occurs, completely wipe up the spilled
fuel immediately.

2. Connect the load to the UNV terminals as shown in
Figure 17. These terminals can be found on the front of
the generator by lifting the UNV lug cover. It may be
necessary to remove the retaining lug that secures the
cover. Make sure to tighten terminal nuts securely to
prevent load wires from slipping out.
