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
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.
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
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.
WarninG
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.
• 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.
in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as
low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other
conditions. Refer to
Service Code Detection System
in the
