Lubrication Oil
Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler hole, but DO NOT overfill. Make sure the generator is level. Also verify that the oil level is maintained between the two notches (Figure 29) on the dipstick. See Table 9 for proper selection of engine oil.

The DCA600SSV series generators may (if equipped with a trailer or skid) have a double fuel tank system (Figure 30), which consists of an internal generator fuel tank, and a trailer mounted fuel tank. It is also possible the generator can be equipped with a skid mounted fuel tank (Figure 32). The skid type fuel system does not use the internal generator fuel tank.
Use the instructions in this section that applies to your type of fuel tank system.
ALWAYS fill the fuel tank with clean and fresh #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tanks beyond their capacities.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling. Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
