that has several access doors. The doors are named for a
significant component located behind them, as follows:

Operation
Important Owner’s Considerations
Engine Oil
The 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 and
ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine
operator’s manual.
Battery
The installer must supply a valve-regulated, rechargeable
12 volt DC starting battery. See
Battery
in
Final Installation
Considerations
in the installation manual. Installer
must connect battery charge wire (wire #13) to positive
battery terminal!
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.
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.
