3.Once the unit has shut down, it will signal a fault on the control panel.

4.Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF and turn off the UTILITY power to the transfer switch.

5.While the engine is still warm from running, drain the oil completely. Refill the crankcase with SAE 15W-40 oil having API Service Class SG, SH or SJ.

6.Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity and classification of the oil in the crankcase.

7.Remove the spark plug(s) and spray fogging agent into the spark plug(s) threaded openings. Reinstall and tighten the spark plug(s).
