Fuel Supply System
Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and
without leaks.
Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that
adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic
operation is desired.
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 operator’s
manual.
Coolant System
The engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50/50 mix
of automotive ethylene-glycol anti-freeze and water. This
will provide optimum year round protection against freezing,
boiling and corrosion. The coolant system incorporates
an optional water heater that operates when ambient
temperature is below 80ºF AND utility power is present at the
transfer switch. Periodically check coolant level as described
in the operator’s manual.
Final Installation Considerations
Battery
The installer must supply and install a valve-regulated
rechargeable starting battery. The starting battery MUST
conform to the specifications shown in this chart.

Install the battery as described in Servicing the Battery in
the Maintenance section of the operator’s manual. Always
make sure the NEGATIVE cable is connected last.
NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended coolant or oil will
result in equipment failure.
• Refer to Maintenance in the operator’s manual for coolant and oil
fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas
during recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and
cause explosion, resulting in death or
serious injury.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic.
Contact with battery contents could cause severe chemical burns.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short
circuit current.
• DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during
and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and
rubber gloves.
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools having insulated handles.
