Daily Maintenance Checks; Lifting The Generator - Magnum MMG 125 Operating Manual

DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECKS

Check the engine oil level daily before starting engine. DO NOT start the generator if the oil level is below the ADD
mark on the dipstick. The normal operating level for the engine oil is anywhere in the crosshatch pattern between
the FULL and ADD markings. Add oil to the engine only if the level is below the ADD mark on the bottom of the
crosshatch pattern. DO NOT OVERFILL the crankcase. Consult the engine OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL for the proper grade of oil, including special operating conditions such as a change in season or climate.
Check the coolant level daily. The coolant is checked by visually inspecting the level in the coolant overflow jug,
located near the radiator. The normal operating level is anywhere between the FULL and ADD markings on the
overflow jug, with the optimum level noted as "NORMAL RANGE". Coolant may be added directly to the overflow
jug WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED AND COMPLETELY COOL. Consult the engine OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL for coolant recommendations and proper mixture.
Check the condition of the air filter by viewing the level of vacuum draw on the filter minder gauge. Replace the air
filter when the yellow center bar reaches the red section on the gauge (20 in. H
* Replace primary air cleaner when restriction indicator shows a vacuum of 25 in. H
** Change the oil and oil filter after the first 100 hours, then every 250 hours.
*** If engine manufacturer's recommended coolant is used, the flushing interval may be extended.
See engine OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL.

LIFTING THE GENERATOR

A large central lifting eye is located on the top of the generator
and the eye is connected to a central lifting frame inside the
unit. Attach a sling or hook directly to the lifting eye only if the
devices are in good condition and the equipment being used
to raise the unit has sufficient capacity. Approximate weights
can be found on pages 9-12. Always remain aware of others
around you when moving or lifting the generator. Keep the
cabinet doors closed and locked.
