Post Installation Checks
WARNING: Engine coolant is under pressure and is near the boiling point of water when engine is hot.
Do not open the coolant system until the engine has completely cooled. Hot coolant can
cause severe burns and other injuries. When engine is cool, coolant level can be checked.

16. Place the voltage output selector switch in the appropriate position (120/240 so the
receptacles are powered or as required for your load).
17. Verify all loads are disconnected.
18. Verify that the Master Control Switch is still in the "Stop" position.
Connect the engine starting battery to the starter. Verify it is installed correctly.
19. Verify the fuel source is ON and the pressure and flow rate is correct.
20. Remove all tools, rags, etc. from inside the generator enclosure. Close all enclosure
doors and be sure no hands are inside the generator enclosure when it starts.
21. Start the generator.
22. The engine should begin to crank and start when the fuel moves through the pipe to
the carburetor. If the engine fails to start, refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting.
23. With the engine running, several checks must be made:
a. Verify there are no fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is detected, stop the engine (move the
Master Control Switch to the "Stop" position) immediately and repair the leak
before proceeding.
b. Verify there are no coolant or oil leaks. If a leak is detected, stop the engine
(move the Master Control Switch to the "Stop" position) immediately and repair the
leak before proceeding.
c. Verify that operation is smooth. If squeals, vibrations or other abnormal sources of
noise exist, stop the engine (move the Master Control Switch to the "Stop"
position) immediately and repair before proceeding.
d. Verify that the correct voltage exists at the receptacles.
24. After the operation checks are made, stop the engine (move the Master Control Switch
to the "Stop" position) and wait 2 hours for the engine to cool. When the engine is cool,
check engine oil and coolant levels as instructed in the engine operation manual.
25. Close all enclosure covers. The post installation checks are now complete.
