INITIAL INSPECTION
Upon receiving your generator set, inspect the product to
make sure it is complete and in good condition. Handle
with care and place in a suitable site for storage or
operation.
GROUND CONNECTION
The generator can be grounded to earth to reduce the
chance of electrical shock. To do this you will need a
grounding rod and an appropriately sized copper ground
wire. Drive the ground rod into the earth, connect one end
of the copper wire to the rod and connect the other end to
the external ground connection on the generator set. This
is a general explanation, consult National and Local
electrical codes to ensure compliance.
BEFORE START-UP
ENGINE FUEL
Use No.2 Diesel fuel.
ENGINE OIL
The engine manual or other information provided by the
engine manufacturer supersedes data provided here.
Proper oil grade varies with climate. The grade listed in
the table is typically a good grade but consult the engine
manual to verify proper grade. The oil fill ports are located
on both sides of the engine. The gray filler cap has an
integral dipstick. Add the proper amount of oil and check
the level using the dipstick. NOTE: The dipstick should be
placed into the filler opening but not screwed in to check
the level.

STARTING BATTERY (Electric Start Models Only)
The starting battery should be rated at 12V-18AH. The
battery is fully charged if a voltage of 12.7VDC is
measured across the terminals using a DC Voltmeter.
POSITIONING
Place the generator set on a flat and solid surface to
prevent it from sinking.
The surface should not be more than 17 from
horizontal in any direction for the engine to lubricate
properly.

OPERATION
Keep fuel, oil or other explosives at a safe distance
from the generator set.
Select a site that is well ventilated and protected from
the weather.
When indoor use cannot be avoided, provide
excellent ventilation for exhaust, cooling, and
combustion requirements.
Place the generator set safely away from people and
animals.
Check the engine oil before each use. Never
operate the generator set with insufficient oil.
GENERATOR SET OVERLOAD
Do not exceed the rated load of the generator set when
operating continuously. Before connecting items to the
generator set, determine the total electrical requirements
of the products to be connected. The requirement of each
item is generally given on the manufacturer's nameplate.
Below is a list of commonly used items and typical
requirements. Use this list as a guideline only if no other
data is available.
