conditions.

 

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 possible equipment failure and service codes.

•Refer to Maintenance in the operator’s manual for oil fill information.

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

This 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 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
