OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
Fig 4 Maintenance free battery (left) and dry battery(right)
If it is dry battery, the battery must be filled with battery acid to required level.
Acid can be purchased at a local automotive supply store. To properly maintain
your dry battery, check the height of the battery acid once a month. If the level
of the liquid drops too low, fill it with distilled water until it reaches up to
maximum level mark. If there is not enough battery acid, diesel engine cannot
be started. It is important to keep the liquid level between the high and low
limits. If the level in the battery is too high, the liquid may flow out and corrode
surrounding parts.
2-2.3 Filling engine oil
Make sure the generator is on level ground and remove the dipstick from
the engines.
Check if the oil level is between the high limit and low limit. If the engine is
new or oil is not enough, fill the engine with the right engine oil.(see fig 6)
Put the dipstick back into the hole to check the engine oil level.(see fig 5)
