5.6 Lube Level Maintainer
See Graphic: wc_gr001711, wc_gr001712, wc_gr001713
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. If the engine shuts down due
to low oil, the ECM will display “FAULT LOW OIL LEVEL”. Fill the
engine and the additional oil reservoir with oil before placing the
generator back into service.
Note: On machines with the Isuzu engine, the reservoir is mounted to
the enclosure door.
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.
