Final Installation Considerations
Engine Oil
Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before it has been correctly filled with the
recommended oil will result in equipment failure and
service codes.
• Refer to Maintenance in the Operation section for oil fill
information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to obey this
instruction will void the engine and generator warranty.
This engine ships from the factory pre-run and filled with
full synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This step allows for
system operation in a wide range of temperature and
climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check the
oil level as described in the Maintenance section.
Using full synthetic oil does not alter the required oil
change intervals as described in the Operation section.
