MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The generator is equipped with a 3-pole, 600-amp circuit breaker to protect the camlok receptacles from overload. Make sure that the main circuit breaker is in the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Lubrication Oil

Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler hole, but DO NOT overfill. Make sure the generator is level and verify that the oil level is maintained between the two notches (Figure 11) on the dipstick. See Table 11 for proper selection of engine oil.

Figure 11. Engine Oil Dipstick

When checking the engine oil, be sure to check if the oil is clean. If the oil is not clean, drain the oil by removing the oil drain plug, and refill with the specified amount of oil as outlined in the Cummins Engine Owner’s Manual. Oil should be warm before draining.

Other types of motor oils may be substituted if they meet the following requirements:

„„ API Service Classification CC/SC

„„API Service Classification CC/SD

„„API Service Classification CC/SE

„„API Service Classification CC/SF

Fuel Check

DANGER

Fuel spillage on a hot engine can cause a fire or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs, wipe up the spilled fuel completely to prevent fire hazards. NEVER smoke around or near the generator.

Refilling the Fuel System

CAUTION

ONLY properly trained personnel who have read and understood this section should refill the fuel tank system.

This generator has a fuel tank located in the sub base assembly frame. ALWAYS fill the fuel tank with clean fresh #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tank beyond its capacity.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling. Handle fuel in a safe container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

Refueling Procedure:

WARNING

Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous to your health and the surrounding environment. Avoid skin contact and/or inhaling fumes.

CAUTION

ALWAYS make sure generator is on firm level ground before refueling to prevent spilling and maximize the amount of fuel that can be pumped into the tank.
