8-1. Checking Engine Oil
To check the engine oil, keep the equipment in leveled position, remove the oil level
gauge and wipe so that no oil remains, and then re-insert the dipstick fully. Prior to
starting the engine, make sure to fill the engine oil through the oil filler until it reaches
the MAX line.
< Note >

Wait approximately five minutes or
more after stopping the engine or
adding oil before checking the oil
level again.

An accurate oil level reading cannot
be obtained if the generator is not
placed in leveled position.

Do not overfill with oil to avoid
engine damage.
(1) Types of Engine Oil
Use only API service-type CD class or better.

8-2. Checking Coolant
CAUTION : BURNS

Do not open the radiator cap immediately after stopping the engine. Do so
will result in steam gushing out.

Hot steam gushes out from the coolant sub-tank if the generator overheats.
Do not touch the coolant subtank.
Check that the subtank coolant level is in between FULL and LOW. If the subtank
coolant is lower than the LOW level, add coolant to the subtank and radiator.
(1) Filling the Sub-Tank
Remove the sub-tank cap.
Fill the sub-tank with coolant until it reaches
the FULL line.
Re-attach the cap.
