BEFORE INITIAL START-UP

Engine Oil

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the recommended oil. Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine operator’s manual.

CAUTION

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

Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.

Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

Oil Considerations

Your Home Standby Generator is equipped with an engine that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require the traditional “break-in” procedure.

The system is filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30W). This allows for system operation in the widest range of temperature and climate conditions.

NOTE: The use of synthetic oil DOES NOT alter the required oil change intervals described in the engine operator’s manual.

Battery Connection

The Home Standby Generator is supplied with a 12 Volt DC 33 Amp-Hour, valve regulated battery. It is a sealed, lead-acid rechargeable battery. It is installed in the unit and the battery cables are connected at the factory.The generator’s 15 Amp fuse has been removed to prevent the unit from starting during shipping.

CAUTION

Installing the 15A fuse could cause the engine to start.

DO NOT install the 15 Amp fuse until all plumbing and wiring has been completed and inspected.

NOTE: With the battery installed, all wiring to transfer switch and Home Standby Generator completed, utility power supplied to the Automatic Transfer Switch, and the unit in AUTO mode, the battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not running.The trickle charger cannot be used to recharge a battery that is completely discharged.

Gaseous Fuel System

Ensure that all fuel connections are tight, secure and without leaks.

Ensure that all shutoff valves are OPEN and that adequate pressure is available (see installation manual).

WARNING

Propane and Natural Gas is extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other explosive conditions exist.

If you smell ‘raw’ gaseous fuel (natural or LP) near the unit, immediately turn off the gas supply to the Home Standby Generator.

Contact your gas utility or the system installer for assistance in determining the source of the smell.
