15.12 Lube Level Maintainer
Description
The lube level maintainer system protects the engine from low oil levels by
providing an additional 6-quart oil reservoir. Oil from the reservoir is gravity-fed
from the oil reservoir (a) through the control valve (b) and into the engine oil pan as
needed.
The valve includes a sightglass (c) through which the oil level can be seen. This oil
level is the same as that measured by the engine dipstick. A float inside the valve
detects low oil levels and opens the valve to supply the needed oil. The system is
wired to the ECM and includes a low oil shutdown in case the oil in the reservoir is
depleted.
Operation
If the engine shuts down due to low oil, the ECM will display “LOW OIL LEVEL”. Fill
the engine and the additional oil reservoir with oil before placing the generator back
into service.
NOTICE: To prevent overfilling the engine with oil, place the shutoff valve (d) in the
closed position when moving or towing the generator. Once the generator is in
position, open the valve.
