Operation
Battery
The installer must supply a rechargeable 12 volt DC starting
battery. See Battery in Final Installation Considerations in the
installation manual.
With the battery installed, all wiring to transfer switch and
home generator completed, utility power supplied to the
automatic transfer switch, and the unit in AUTO mode, the
battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not
running. The trickle charge cannot be used to recharge a
battery that is completely discharged.
NOTICE A battery booster should never be used to quick
charge a low battery.
Engine Oil
The 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.
Important Owner’s Considerations
NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in
equipment failure.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
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.
15 Amp Fuse
The generator’s 15 Amp fuse is critical to correct system
operation. The 15 Amp fuse was removed at the factory.
Your installer will ensure the fuse is properly installed upon
completion of the installation.
