fuel supply system
Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and
without leaks.
Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that
adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic
operation is desired.
engine oil
The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for system
operation in a wide range of temperature and climate
conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and
ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine
operator’s manual.
coolant system
The engine is shipped from the factory filled with a
50 50 mix of automotive (Dex-Cool™ orange) anti-freeze
and water. This will provide optimum year round protection
against freezing, boiling and corrosion. The coolant system
incorporates a water heater that operates when ambient
temperature is below 80ºF AND utility power is present at the
transfer switch. Periodically check coolant level as described
in the engine manual.
