To install the battery, begin by placing the battery (A)
into the battery rack as shown in Fig G.
After the battery is in the rack, begin attaching the
battery cables to the battery posts, starting with the
positive (+), or red, cable (B). Loosen the bolt (C) on the
post clamp slightly to allow the clamp to expand, then
firmly push the clamp onto the battery post marked
positive (+) until the top of the post extends past the top
of the clamp. Rotate the clamp around the post as
required to insure the clamp cannot contact any metal
components, then tighten the clamp bolt (C) until snug.
Finally,slide the post boot (D) down the cable and place it
entirely over the clamp.
Finish connecting the battery by placing the negative
(-), or black, battery cable (E) to the battery post marked
negative (-). Push the clamp firmly over the post until the
post extends past the top of the clamp, then rotate the
clamp to avoid contact with any metal parts. Tighten the
battery clamp bolt (F) until snug.
The final step of battery installation is to verify proper
connection of all battery charger connections. A battery
charging system (G) is included with the
engine/generator set to maintain the battery charge
during extended periods of generator inactivity, therefore
providing consistent starting. A quick check of charger
connections will verify that factory connections are
correct so the charger can function as intended. Insure
that the charger is connected by checking to see that it is
plugged into a powered receptacle, and that the positive
(+) and negative (-) charger cables are connected to their
respective battery cables.
Check oil level before start-up. The unit is shipped
with the proper type of oil in the crankcase for operation
above 40°F. Follow the engine manufacturer’s
recommendations for oil at temperatures below 40°F.
Check oil periodically to ensure that the unit is properly
lubricated. Follow the engine manufacturer’s
recommended service schedule.
Engine oil capacity is 4.0 qt (3.79L) without a filter
change and 5.0qt (4.7L) with a filter change.
Before initial start up of the unit, check the coolant
level in the radiator. Low coolant levels can cause
insufficient engine cooling and possible engine damage.
The unit is shipped with a 50\50 mix of water and
propylene glycol antifreeze in the radiator. Check
coolant levels and concentration periodically, especially
in extreme climates. Follow engine manufacturer’s
recommended service schedule. If radiator is drained
and refilled, make sure to disconnect bypass hose to
purge air from radiator and engine head water passages.
Failure to properly bleed air from the cooling system
may result in an engine failure not covered under
warranty.

• Hot coolant under pressure in radiator can
cause severe burns. Allow radiator to cool
completely before removing cap.
• Eye protection should be used.
• State and federal agencies have determined
that contact with used engine oil can cause
cancer or reproductive toxicity. Take care to
limit skin contact and breathing of vapors as
much as possible. Use rubber gloves and wash
exposed skin.

• Too much oil can cause high oil consumption,
high operating temperatures and oil foaming.
Too little oil can cause severe engine damage.
Keep the oil level between the full and add
marks on the dipstick.
• Any attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil will result in an engine failure
that is not covered under warranty.
• Never run this equipment without the complete
air cleaner system installed on the engine.
Failure to do so will result in premature engine
wear and significantly reduced engine life.
