BEFORE INITIAL START -UP

Engine Oil

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the
recommended oil. Before starting the engine, check oil level
and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the
engine owner's manual.
CAUTION
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil will
result in equipment failure.
• Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.

Oil Considerations

Your Home Standby Generator is equipped with an engine
that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require
the traditional "break-in" procedure.
The system is filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30W).
This allows for system operation in the widest range of
temperature and climate conditions.
NOTE: The use of synthetic oil DOES NOT alter the
required oil change intervals described in the engine
owner's manual.
