PREPARATION
Fill the oil cup on the side of the distributor.
Place a drop of oil on each of the governor to carburetor link ball
joints.
It is unnecessary to lubricate the generator bearing and water pump
until time to do so as noted under PERIODIC SERVICE.
FUEL, GASOLINE.- Use only a good grade, clean, fresh, regular automotive
type gasoline of 68 to 74 octane rating. Do not use any highly leaded
premium type of gasoline. The 'use of any gasoline which has a high lead
content will necessitate more frequent carbon removal, spark plug, .and
valve servicing. However, do not use a low octane gasoline, such as
"stove" gas, as its use will cause excessive detonation or "spark knock",
and damage to engine bearings, valves, rings, etc.
If the plant has the mounted fuel tank, do not fill the tank entirely
full of cold gasoline, as the fuel may expand as the plant wanns up,
causing the gasoline to overflow. Observe the usual precautions when
handling gasoline. Do not fill the tank when the plant is running.
On plants equipped with the mounted fuel tank, note that the electric
fuel gauge on the control panel registers the amount of fuel in the tank
only when the plant is running. If it is desired to check the fuel
when the plant is stopped, throw the ignition switch to the HAND START
position while making the observation. Be sure to return the switch to
the ELECT. START position.
If· an auxiliary fuel tank. is used, connection may be made to the two
way
fuel shut-off valve at the bottom of the tank mounted on the plant.
FUEL, NATURAL GAS OR LPG.- Make sure that fuel I!IUpply lines (and tanks,
if used) have been properly installed and connected.
RADIATOR.- The capacity of the cooling system is approximately 11 quarts
(U. S. Measure). See that the radiator and cylinder block drain cocks
are closed. Fill the radiator with clean, alkali-free water such as
clean rainwater. The use of a rust and scale inhibitor is recommended.
If the plant will be exposed to freezing temperatures, use a standard
anti-freeze in the proper proportion. To avoid loss of anti-freeze
through the overflow pipe due to expansion, fill only to approximately
2 inches below the bottom of the filler neCk. Check the cooling system
to see that there are no leaks.
If the foregoing instructions have been carefully complied with, the
plant should be ready for operation. However, before starting the .plant,
carefully study the paragraphs under the headings OPERATION and ABNORMJL
OPERATING CONDITION immediately following.
