Operation
Important Owner’s Considerations
Engine Oil
This 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. Before starting the engine, check oil level as
described in the engine manual.
Battery
The installer must supply a valve-regulated, rechargeable
12 volt starting battery. See
Battery
in
Final Installation
Considerations
in the installation manual.
With the battery installed, all wiring to transfer switch and
generator completed, utility power supplied to the automatic
transfer switch, and the unit in
AUTO
mode, the battery
receives a trickle charge while the engine is not running. The
trickle charge cannot be used to recharge a battery that is
completely discharged.
15 Amp Fuse
The generator’s 15 Amp fuse is critical to correct system
operation. The 15 Amp fuse was removed at the factory to
prevent the unit from starting during shipping. Your installer
will ensure the fuse is properly installed upon completion of
the installation.
WARNING
Contact with muffler and engine parts can
result in serious burns.
DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
•
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
•
NOTICE
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil
will result in equipment failure.
Refer to
•
Maintenance
in the operator’s manual and engine
manual for oil fill information.
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
•
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
