Service Code Detection System

The generator may have to run for long periods of time with
no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped
with sensors that automatically shut down the generator
in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as
low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other
conditions.

Final Installation Considerations

Engine Oil

NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in
possible equipment failure and service codes.
• Refer to Maintenance in the operator's manual for oil fill
information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
Battery
The installer must supply and install a rechargeable 12 volt
starting battery. The starting battery MUST conform to the
specifications shown in this chart.

Install the battery as described in Servicing the Battery in the
Maintenance section of the operator's manual. Always make
sure the NEGATIVE cable is connected last and that the red
POSITIVE terminal insulator is fully in place.
WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
Use the supplied tie-down strap
to the unit. Each end of the strap should be attached to the
existing tabs in the base of the unit.

Refer to Service Code Detection System in the operator's
manual for more detailed information.
This engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This allows for system
operation in a wide range of temperature and climate
conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level as
described in Maintenance of the Operator's Manual.
The use of synthetic oil does not alter the required oil change
intervals described in the Operator's Manual.
For operation of temperatures below 30°F (-1°C), the use
of fully synthetic oil (minimum API SJ) of viscosity 5W30 is
required.
WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during
recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause
explosion, resulting in death or serious injury.
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.
• DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during
and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and
rubber gloves.
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools having insulated handles.
