(1) Electrical System
The 24 VDC electrical generating and starting system includes an alternator and starter with
solenoid switch.
.
(2) Lubricity Additive Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is a spin-on disposable type located on the inside of the canopy, near the engine’s
fuel pump. The fuel filter’s primary function, other than removing contaminants from the fuel, is to
automatically add a lubricity additive to the fuel. Although, the engine manufacturer does not
recommend low lubricity fuels, this additive can extend the life of the fuel pump.
CAUTION
The use of low lubricity fuels can shorten life and/or damage the engine’s fuel pump.
Only diesel fuel is recommended by the engine manufacturer. Refer to engine
manufacturer’s manual for approved fuels.
(3) Oil Filter
The engine oil filter is a spin-on, full-flow type, located on the left side of the engine near the front.
(4) Pre-programmed Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The ECM is a pre-programmed engine control module, mounted directly to the engine block.
c) Factory Installed Components and Protective Systems
This generator set is assembled with the following components and protective systems:

Low fuel warning system
The low fuel warning system monitors the fuel level in the fuel tank. When the fuel tank
level reaches approximately 10%, a warning is generated signifying that it is time to put
fuel in the tank. Once the engine is not running, a low fuel fault is generated and the
engine is not allowed to start.
