Lubrication Oil (Engine)
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 into its holder. Verify
that the oil level is maintained between the two notches
(Figure 4) on the dipstick. See Table 4 for proper selection of
engine oil.
Fuel
Fill the fuel tank with No. 2
diesel fuel
. DO NOT fill the tank
beyond capacity. Use a strainer when pouring the fuel into
the tank. This will prevent dirt and debris from entering the
fuel system.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 13, Engine
Specification Table 2.
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.
CAUTION :
NEVER fill the fuel tank while the engine
is running or in the dark.
Diesel fuel
spillage on a hot engine can cause a fire
or explosion. If diesel fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled gasoline completely to
prevent fire hazards.
Coolant
Check coolant level as described in the maintenance section of
this manual.
Use distilled water mixed with coolant. 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.
