Final Installation Considerations
Engine Oil
NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will
result in equipment failure.
• Refer to Maintenance in the operator's manual for oil
fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This allows for system
operation in a wide range of temperature and climate
conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and
ensure that engine is serviced as described in Maintenance
of the Operator's Manual.
The use of synthetic oil does not alter the required oil
change intervals described in the Operator's Manual.
Coolant System
This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50/50
mix of automotive (Ethylene glycol) anti-freeze and water.
This will provide optimum year round protection against
freezing, boiling and corrosion.
Battery
The installer must supply and install a valve-regulated
rechargeable starting battery. The starting battery MUST
conform to the specifications shown in this chart.

WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas during recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen
and cause explosion, resulting
in death, serious injury and/or
property damage.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is
extremely caustic.
Contact with battery contents could cause severe
chemical burns.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short
circuit current.
• DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette
during and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and
