1.Check the lubricating oil level prior to starting the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be maintained between two notches on the dipstick.

2.When there is not enough lubricating oil, fill the crankcase with high grade motor oil. Use a high quality detergent oil classified CC or higher (See Table 12 on page 43).

3.Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank. Replenish with antifreeze as necessary. Always maintain the coolant level between the FULL and LOW markings on the coolant container. Be sure that the radiator cap is fastened securely.

4.Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge. If fuel is low, fill the fuel tank with clean fresh unleaded automotive diesel. If diesel spillage occurs, completely wipe up the spilled fuel immediately.
