Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas during recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen
and cause explosion, resulting in death, serious injury and/
or property damage. Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid
and is extremely caustic. Contact with battery contents
could cause severe chemical burns. A battery presents a
risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.

Final Installation Considerations

Installation Inspection
Before placing the generator system into service, review the
instructions while carefully inspecting the entire installation
to make sure the installation is complete and correct.

Engine Oil

NOTICE
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will
result in engine failure, which will not be covered under the
warranty.
The engine is shipped from the factory filled with synthetic oil
(API SN-GF/5 5W-30). This allows for system operation in a
wide range of temperatures and climate conditions. Before
starting the engine, check the oil level as described under
Engine Maintenance in the Maintenance section.

Coolant System

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50/50 mix
of automotive (ethylene glycol) anti-freeze and water. This
will provide optimum year-round protection against freezing,
boiling, and corrosion. Before starting the engine, check the
coolant level as described under Engine Maintenance in the
Maintenance section.

Fuel Supply System

Make sure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure,
and without leaks. Make sure that all gas line shutoff valves
are OPEN and that adequate fuel pressure is available.
