WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include:
• Dizziness • Throbbing in Temples
• Nausea • Muscular Twitching
• Headache • Vomiting
• Weakness and Sleepiness • Inability to Think Coherently
IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET
OUT INTO THE FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medi-
cal attention. Shut down the unit and do not operate until it has been in-
spected and repaired.
Never sleep in vehicle with the generator set running unless the vehicle inte-
rior is equipped with an operating carbon monoxide detector with an audible
alarm. Protection against carbon monoxide inhalation also includes proper
exhaust system installation and visual and audible inspection of the com-
plete exhaust system at the start of each generator set operation.

PRE-START CHECKS
Before starting the genset, perform these steps:
1. Perform the
Installation Review described in
this section.
2. With the vehicle parked on a level surface,
check the engine oil level. See the Operator’s
Manual for the oil type and quantity. When fin-
ished, screw the oil level indicator into the filler
neck securely to prevent oil leakage.
3. Check that battery terminals and cable connec-
tors are clean and dry. Connect the positive (+)
battery cable to the POS. (+) battery post first,
then connect the negative (-) battery cable to
the NEG. (-) battery post. Always connect the
negative (-) battery cable last to reduce the risk
of arcing.
WARNING
Batteries present the hazard of
explosion, which can result in severe per-
sonal injury. Because batteries produce ex-
plosive gas, do not smoke or allow any arc-
producing devices in the battery area. Do
not disconnect cables from the battery
while the genset is cranking or running.
This causes arcing and can result in an ex-
plosion.
4. Review the Operator’s Manual, and note the
features of the genset. Open the fuel supply
valve to the genset (if equipped).
INITIAL STARTING AND CHECKS

Exhaust gas presents the hazard of
severe personal injury or death. Do not operate
the genset inside any room or building.
Starting from the Genset Control
1. Move the Start/Stop switch to the START (I)
