5.3 Engine Oil

Recommended Engine Oil

Check the oil level prior to starting the generator set to verify that the oil level is

between the High and Low marks. The generator set is shipped with engine oil

(5W30 API SM or newer engine oil is recommended).

Checking Engine Oil Level

NOTICE

Check the engine oil level when the engine is not running and is out of Auto

mode.

WARNING

Crankcase pressure can blow out hot oil and cause severe burns. Do NOT

check oil while the engine is operating.

CAUTION

Overfilling can cause foaming or aeration of the oil while operation below the

low mark may cause loss of oil pressure. Do not operate the engine with the

oil level below the low mark or above the high mark.

WARNING

State and federal agencies have determined that contact with used engine oil

can cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Avoid skin contact and breathing

of vapors. Use rubber gloves and wash exposed skin. Accidental or remote

starting of the generator set can cause severe personal injury or death.

Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable and place the control switch in its

OFF position (or press the STOP button if applicable) before starting work.
