ISUZU ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS
Note: The EPA final Tier 4 Isuzu engines have an engine break-in duration that will prohibit the unit from providing
rated standby power upon factory delivery. The unit is tested at the factory and is initially capable of a prime standby
power output. The engine performance will increase to 95% of full rated power during the first 20 hours of loaded
operation. The unit will provide full rated power after the complete engine break-in period of 70 hours of loaded
operation.
Operate the engine at heavy loads (60-90% of rated output maximum) as much as possible during the break-in
period. If the engine has spent significant time at idle, constant speed(s) and/or light load or if makeup oil is required,
a longer break in period may be needed. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for a full description of necessary
procedures on the addition of oil and extension of the break-in period. For more information on regular maintenance
intervals, see Basic Maintenance Schedule - Isuzu Engine.
JOHN DEERE ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS
Note: During the first 20 hours of operation, avoid long periods of no load or sustained maximum load operation. If
the generator is to run for longer than five minutes without a load, shut the generator down.
John Deere engines are supplied with engine break-in oil from the factory. Extra care during the first 100 hours of
engine operation will result in better performance and longer engine life. DO NOT exceed 100 hours of operation
with the break-in oil. Operate the engine at heavy loads (60-90% of maximum) as much as possible. If the engine
has spent significant time at idle, constant speed(s), and/or light load, or if makeup oil is required, a longer break in
period may be needed. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for a full description of necessary procedures on the
addition of break-in oil and extension of the break-in period. For more information on regular maintenance intervals,
see Basic Maintenance Schedule - John Deere Engine.
