Checking the Coolant
Hot Coolant and Steam
Can cause severe injury
or death.
During operation, some parts of the generator set can become extremely hot. To avoid
burns, allow the engine to cool sufficiently before checking the coolant level. DO NOT
remove the radiator cap while the radiator is hot. Doing so could result in extremely hot
coolant spraying out. Severe burns may result.
Always stop the engine before checking the coolant level. DO NOT check the coolant level
while the engine is running.
Always put the generator set in OFF mode before checking the coolant level. If the
generator set is in AUTO mode, the generator set may start automatically, without warning.
1. Shut down the generator set and put it in OFF mode.
2. Ensure the generator set is on a level surface and properly supported.
3. Allow the generator set to cool fully.
4. Remove the thumbscrews to remove the Radiator Coolant Access Panel from the enclosure.
5. Carefully open the radiator cap, allowing any pressure to vent before removing.
6. The coolant level should be at the base of the fill neck.
7. If necessary, add 50/50 mix to bring the coolant up to the appropriate level.
8. Replace the radiator cap, ensuring it is tight.
9. Check the overflow bottle.
10. The coolant level should be between the FULL and LOW marks.
11. If necessary, add 50/50 mix to bring the coolant up to the appropriate level.
