Whenever the fuse is re moved or replaced, the exercise ti m erneeds to be reset.4.2 CHECKING THE ENGINEOIL LEVELFor oil capacities, see the Specifications section. For engine oilrecomm endations, see the Engine O il R ecomm endations section.When power outages necessitate running the generator for extend-ed periods of ti m e, the oil level should be checked daily.To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows ( Figures 4.1, 4.2and 4.3) :1. If the generator is running during a utility outage, first turn O FFall associated loads running in the residence. S econd, turn thegenerator' s m ain circuit breaker to the O FF position.2. Move the AUTO/O FF/MANUAL switch to the O FF position.3. R e move the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.4. Completely insert the dipstick; then, re move it again. The oillevel should be at the dipstick “Full” m ark. If necessary, addoil to the “Full” m ark only. DO NOT FI LL ABOVE THE “F ULL”MARK.Never operate the engine with the oil levelbelow the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing thiscould damage the engine.Figure 4.1 — Oil Dipstick and Fill, 8kWOil Dipstick and FillFigure 4.2 — Oil Dipstick, 10kWSection 4 — MaintenanceAir-cooled Generators
