FUSES

The 15-amp fuse on the generator panel protects the
DC control circuit against overload (Figure 4.1). This
fuse is wired in series with the battery output lead
to the panel. If this fuse element has melted open,
the engine will not be able to crank or start. Replace
this fuse using only an identical 15-amp replacement
fuse. To replace the fuse, push the fuse holder cap
down and rotate it counterclockwise. Whenever the
fuse is removed or replaced, the exercise timer needs
to be reset.

4.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE
OIL LEVEL
For oil capacities, see the Specifications section.
For engine oil recommendations, see the Engine Oil
Recommendations section. To check the engine oil
level, proceed as follows (Figures 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4):
1. Move the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to the OFF
position.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
3. Completely insert the dipstick; then, remove it
again. The oil level should be at the dipstick "Full"
mark. If necessary, add oil to the "Full" mark
only. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE "FULL " MARK.

Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the "Add" mark on the dipstick. Doing
this could damage the engine.
4. Install the dipstick.
5. Reset the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its origi-
nal position.
