Lubrication Oil
Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler
hole, but do not overfill. Make sure the generator is level.
With the dipstick inserted all the way, but without being screw
into the filler hole, verify that the oil level is maintained
between the two notches (Figure 32) on the dipstick. See
Table 12 for proper selection of engine oil.

When checking the engine oil, be sure to check if the oil is
clean and viscous. 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 Isuzu Engine Owner's Manual.

g. Handle
fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a
spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
CAUTION :
Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running or in the dark. Gasoline spillage
on a hot engine can cause a fire or
explosion. If gasoline spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled gasoline completely
to prevent fire hazards.
Coolant
Use only drinkable tap water. If hard water or water with
many impurities is used, the inside of the engine and radiator
may become coated with deposits and cooling efficiency
will be reduced. See maintenance section on page 52 and
53 on instructions to flush out radiator.
An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help prevent
deposits and corrosion in the cooling system.
