PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE

Read and understand the information about the gasoline engine in the OPERATION and MAINTENANCE sections of this manual before you operate the POWER ARC 5000.

WARNING

•Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts.

•Stop the engine when fueling.

•Do not smoke when fueling.

•Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure.

•Do not overfill the fuel tank.

•Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before starting the engine.

•Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.

OIL

The POWER ARC 5000 is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. If the oil level is not at the “FULL” mark on the dip-stick, add oil but do not overfill. Be sure the dip-stick cap is tight. Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation.

For more oil fill and service information, see the Briggs & Stratton Engine manual.

FUEL

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade lead-free gasoline. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH

THE GASOLINE.

The POWER ARC 5000 has a plastic, 5.5 gallon (20.8 L) fuel tank mounted above the generator. See the Briggs & Stratton Engine manual for more details about fuel.

SPARK ARRESTER

Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could pre- sent a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers do not act as spark arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the machine and properly maintained. An optional spark arrester kit is available for your POWER ARC 5000. See the ACCESSORIES section of this manual for more information.

CAUTION

An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to the engine or reduce performance. A suitable spark arrester for the Briggs & Stratton 11 HP Industrial Plus engine is avail- able as a Lincoln field-installed option.
