
Use a suitable container to catch the fuel that
will spill during system bleeding process. Clean
up all spilled fuel after bleeding.
2.9.1.3 Generator Set Lubrication
Check the engine crankcase oil level before operating
and add oil to the proper level – the dipstick “FULL”
mark. Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the dipstick “ADD” mark. See “Specifications”
and “Engine Oil Recommendations” sections.
NOTE:
This engine is shipped from the manufacturer
with 15W-40 oil. This oil should be changed after
30 hours of operation.
2.9.1.4 Engine Coolant
Have the engine cooling system properly filled with
the recommended coolant mixture. Check the system
for leaks and other problems. See the “Specifications”
and “Coolant” sections.
2.9.1.5 Belt Tension
Check-the engine-fan belt tension and condition prior
to placing the unit into service and at recommended
intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of
approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway
between pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8-
inch (10 to 16 mm).
2.9.1.6 Electrical System
Make sure the generator is properly connected to an
approved earth ground.
Make sure the generator battery is fully charged,
properly installed and interconnected, and ready for
use.
Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical con-
nections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear
of any moving generator set components.
2.9.1.7 Rodent Protection
Make sure the four, three-inch diameter cap plugs
(part # 0A8785) are properly installed in the tie-
down holes in the side rails of the unit’s base frame
(Figure 2.4). The cap plugs are shipped in a plastic
bag located in the lower connection box. These plugs
are needed to prevent rodents from accessing the
interior of the generator set. On acoustic units, cap
plugs also are needed to stay within noise specifica-
tion limits.
