< Note >
Use GM SPEC 6277M or equivalent.
Use a 50:50 mix of Long Life Coolant (LLC).
Always use potable water when mixing the coolant.
Use LLC with the same mixture ratio in the coolant sub-tank.
Do not increase the LLC mixture ratio unless it is necessary. Doing so could result in overheating
or another fault/malfunction.
If adding LLC, be sure to use the same brand/type that is still in the generator.
Do not mix different brands/types. Doing so could result in a chemical reaction and the creation of
toxic substances.
Change the LLC every 2 years or 1,000 hours.
LLC is a toxic substance. Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear when handling.
If someone mistakenly ingests LLC, induce vomiting immediately and seek medical care.
If LLC gets on skin or clothing, wash with water immediately.
LLC is flammable. Store in a location where flame is prohibited and it cannot be accessed by
children.
Engine coolant could leak if the radiator is not completely tightened or there is a gap in the seating
face. Always be sure to securely tighten the radiator cap.
Do not add engine coolant past the FULL level line of the coolant sub-tank.

CAUTION : FIRE
This generator uses diesel fuel. Always be sure to stop the engine and not
bring flames close when inspecting fuel or refueling. Wait until the engine has
cooled before performing such procedures.
If fuel spills, always be sure to open the spill containment drain valve and
drain off the spilled fuel.
(Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (9) Flushing Liquid in Spill
Containment".)
Check if there is a sufficient amount of fuel and add fuel if insufficient.
The fuel meter on the control panel will only display the fuel level for the internal fuel tank.
Be sure to close the cap tightly after refueling.
< Note >
Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D, S15. Engine is
designed to operate on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel only.
Use of any other fuel may result in engine no longer
operating in compliance with emissions requirements.
The fuel supply pump, injectors and other parts of the fuel
system and engine can be damaged if any fuel or fuel
additives are used other than those specifically
recommended by the engine manufacturer.
