INSPECTION/SETUP
CIRCUIT BREAKER
To protect the
U,V, and W output terminals from overload,
a 3-pole, 1600 amp, main circuit breaker is provided.
ALWAYS make sure this breaker is OFF prior to starting
the engine.
LUBRICATION OIL
Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the
filler hole, but
DO NOT overfill. Make sure the generator is
level and verify that the oil level is maintained between the
two notches (Figure 16) on the dipstick. See Table 11 for
proper selection of engine oil.
Figure 16. Engine Oil Dipstick
When checking the engine oil, be sure to check if the oil is
clean. If the oil is not clean, drain the oil by removing the
oil drain plug, and refill with the specified amount of oil as
outlined in the
Cummins Engine Owner’s Manual. Oil
should be warm before draining.
Other types of motor oils may be substituted if they meet
the following requirements:
API Service Classification CC/SC
API Service Classification CC/SD
API Service Classification CC/SE
API Service Classification CC/SF

FUEL CHECK
Refilling the Fuel System
This generator has an internal fuel tank (Figure 17) located
inside the generator and may also be equipped with an
external fuel tank ().
ALWAYS fill the fuel tanks with clean
fresh
#2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tanks beyond
their capacities.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not
have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.

DANGER
Fuel spillage on a
hot engine can cause
a
fire or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to
prevent fire hazards.
NEVER smoke
around or near the generator.
CAUTION
ONLY properly trained personnel who have read
and understand this section should refill the fuel tank
system.
