Returning Genset to Service
1. Check the oil tag on the genset and change the
oil if the viscosity indicated is not appropriate for
the temperatures expected. See ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 6).
2. Reconnect the starting battery (negative [−] ca-
ble last). See MAINTAINING THE BATTERY
AND BATTERY CONNECTIONS (Page 19).
3. Remove the plug from the exhaust tailpipe.
4. Change the air filter element if it is dirty
(Page 19).
5. Open the fuel supply valve (if so equipped).
6. Inspect the genset. See CONDUCTING GEN-
ERAL INSPECTIONS (Page 16).
7. Gasoline Models − Prime the genset fuel sys-
tem by holding the control switch at STOP/
PRIME for 30 seconds. (The status indicator
light will stay on solid while the pump is on.)
8. High Pressure LPG Models − Make sure the
LPG oil drain valve (Figure 10, Page 13) is
closed.
9. Start the genset. There may be smoke and
rough operation for a few minutes until the oil
from the fogger burns off. If the engine does not
start, clean or replace the spark plugs, which
may have been fouled by the fogger.
10. Push the genset line circuit breaker ON
(Page 10) when the genset is ready to power
appliances.
