Pre-Start Inspection
WARNING
Safety goggles must be worn while purging air from the coolant system as engine
coolant is under pressure and can be extremely hot.
CAUTION
Inspect the engine oil volume prior to starting the APU and adjust as necessary.
Do not over fill with oil as damage to the crankshaft seals will result.
The LG200 engine requires 3 US qt. (3 Liters) of motor oil (SAE 5W-40
Premium Synthetic API CJ-4 Diesel Oil is supplied from factory). See the
LG2000 Service Manual for more detailed information on the oil specification.
Ensure that all mounting hardware, hose clamps and fittings are tight.
Ensure that the engine air filter is in place and secured.
See that the belts are in place and tensioned.

Test the Air Conditioning System.
CAUTION
Do not operate the unit in the air conditioning mode with any cover removed.
High pressures and temperatures will result from reduced air flow across the
condenser and radiator.
Set the controller for a temperature lower than that in the cab to activate the air
conditioning. Start the engine and allow the system to operate for a few minutes.
Inspect the vent temperature and confirm that cold air is being produced.
NOTE
The cabin controller is where the bunk temperature is monitored. It may be
necessary to artificially raise the temperature of the controller’s thermostat.

Test the Alternator
After installation is complete and the unit is running it is important to test the
alternator to see that it is producing between 13.5 and 14.5 Volts DC (14.8V
DC maximum). This can be done with a volt meter at the batteries of the
truck while the unit is running.
