‹4.11.1 REMOVAL FROM SERVICE

If the generator cannot exercise every seven days, and it is to be out of service longer than 90 days, prepare the generator for storage as follows:

1.Start the engine and let it warm up.

2.Close the fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line and allow the unit to shut down.

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).

To return the unit to service after storage, proceed as follows:

1.Verify that utility power is turned off to the transfer switch and that the Auto/Off/Manual switch is set to OFF.
