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 28) on the dipstick. See
Table 9 for proper selection of engine oil.

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. Diesel spillage
on a hot engine can cause a fire or
explosion. If diesel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled diesel 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.
An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help
prevent deposits and corrosion in the cooling system.
See the engine manual for further details.
