General Information
10 Owner’s Manual for Stationary Industrial Generators
● DO NOT remove the radiator pressure cap while the engine is hot. Serious burns from boiling liquid
or steam could result.
● Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous. Do not use mouth-to-siphon coolant from the radiator,
recovery bottle, or any container. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Never store used antifreeze
in an open container because animals are attracted to the smell and the taste of antifreeze even
though it is poisonous.
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with propylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any high sil-
icate antifreeze boosters or additives also will cause overheating. The manufacturer also recommends
that any soluble oil inhibitor is NOT USED for this equipment.
2.6.4— Gearbox Lubrication (If Equipped)
Use only SAE 90 gear oil with the correct proportion of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer. See the Maintenance section
for more information.
2.7 — Starting Aids (If Equipped)
One or more of the following starting aids may be provided to ensure quicker, easier starts under varying climactic con-
ditions.
• Engine coolant heater
• Engine oil heater
• Battery warmer
These aids are powered by a normal (utility) power source during non-operating periods.
2.7.1— Engine Coolant Heater
Heats the engine coolant when the unit is not operating. This action keeps the engine warm even in cold weather, help-
ing to ensure quicker starts. Powered by a circuit normally fed by the utility power supply.
2.7.2— Engine Oil Sump Heater
Keeps the oil in the sump heated to allow easier starting and faster engine warm-up. Powered by a circuit normally fed
by the utility power supply.
2.7.3— Battery Warmer
Keeps the battery warm so it can provide full cranking current when starting in cold conditions. Powered by a circuit
normally fed by the utility power supply.
