any accessories (such as battery rack) ordered with the
generators have also been received.
1. This power plant was in good order when shipped.
Inspect the power plant promptly after receiving it.
If damage is noted, notify the transportation com-
pany immediately; request proper procedures for fil-

minutes to insure that the unit you have received is
the correct model and review the specification pages
in this manual to insure that this unit meets your job
requirements.

UNlT PREPARATION
-
Before your engine generator
was shipped from our factory it was fully checked for
performance. The generator was load tested to its full
capacity, and the voltage and frequency were careful-
ly checked and adjusted.
1.
Lubrication
-
Before starting the engine, fill the crank-
case to the proper level with a good quality oil. The
recommended grade of oil and quantity of oil required
is listed in both the engine operators manual and in
the specifications section (page
B1) of this manual.
The importance of using the correct oil, and keep-
ing the crankcase full cannot be overemphasized.
Engine failures resulting from inadequate or improper
lubricant are considered abuse and are not covered
by Energx or the engine manufacturer's warranty.
2.
Gasoline fuel
-
When using gasoline always use a
good grade of unleaded fuel. Leaded gasoline may
be use if unleaded is not available. Gasoline contain-
-
ing alcohol, such as gasohol is not recommended.
However if gasoline with alcohol is used, it must not
contain more than 10 percent Ethanol and must be
removed from the engine during storage. DO NOT
use gasoline containing methanol. Always insure
that the fuel is clean and free of all impurities.
FIRE DANGER
Gasoline and its fumes are
VERY
ex-
plosive when proper precautions are
not taken.
a
Never use gasoline that has been stored for an
extended period of time as the fuel will lose its
volatile properties and you will be left with only the
varnish residue. This varnish like substance will clog
the carburetor and will not burn properly. The use
of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent,
will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits. If
a unit has been out of operation for an extended
period of time its best to drain old fuel from the
engine and replace with fresh fuel before attempting
to start.
