Service Code Detection System

The generator may have to run for long periods of time with no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped with sensors that automatically shut down the generator

in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other conditions. Refer to Service Code Detection System in the operator’s manual for more detailed information.

Final Installation Considerations

Engine Oil

NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

t Refer to Maintenance in the operator’s manual for oil fill information.

t Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void engine and generator warranty.

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 Maintenance of the Operator’s Manual.

The use of synthetic oil does not alter the required oil change intervals described in the Operator’s Manual.

For operation of temperatures below 30°F (-1°C), the use of fully synthetic oil (minimum API SJ) of viscosity 5W30 is required.

Battery

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.

The installer must supply and install a 12 Volt DC rechargeable starting battery. The starting battery MUST conform to the specifications shown below in the 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.

WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging.

Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen

and cause explosion, resulting in death, serious injury and/or property damage.

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.

t DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.

t DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a battery.

t DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.

t Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and rubber gloves.

t Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. t Use tools having insulated handles.
