PREPARATION
NOTE: This booklet covers the entire unit, EXCEPT
THE ENGINE. See the engine manufacturer's operator
manual for specific maintenance and care information
regarding the engine. The engine information provided in
this manual is for your convenience only and in no way
supersedes the engine manufacture's instruction. If a
conflict should arise regarding engine instruction, the
engine manual should be considered the authority,
unless specifically instructed in this manual to ignore
an engine manual instruction.
Read ALL instructions in the manuals provided before
attempting to operate the generator set.
UNPACKING
When unpacking the unit, be sure to inspect it carefully
for freight loss or damage. Check the nameplate to be
sure it is what you ordered (proper KW, voltage, fuel,
etc.). If you have questions, contact your local autho-
rized dealer. If you see evidence of loss or damage at
the time of delivery, have the driver sign and describe
the loss or damage in the “memo of loss or damage”
section on the freight bill. Then contact the carrier to
get instructions on filing a claim.
When loss or damage is discovered after the equipment
is delivered, but not seen at the time of delivery, it is
referred to as “concealed damage.” Separate any
damaged material and contact the carrier for proper
procedures to file a “concealed damage” claim.

Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104B or have properties of
API classification CC/CD grades. Change the type of
engine oil according to the ambient temperature.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
ASTM No. 2 diesel fuel is recommended for these
engines. The use of No. 2 diesel fuel will result in
optimum engine performance. When normal operating
temperatures are below 32 degrees F. (0 degrees C.), it
is acceptable to use a seasonal blend of No. 2 fuel. The
use of lighter fuel will reduce fuel economy. (SEE THE
ENGINE OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL
FUEL INFORMATION.)
Filling the Fuel Tank
These units are equipped with a single internal fuel
tank. The YLT6010DE has a 20 gallon tank and the
LLT6012DE has a 35 Gallon tank. Use caution when
filling the tank to prevent it from overflowing.

cables. Failure to turn the Selector switch OFF can
cause equipment damage when the battery cables are
connected or disconnected.
These units will require installation of a coustomer
purchased 12 volt battery for starting. The YLT6010DE
requires a group U1 235CCA battery and the
LLT6012DE requires a group 24F 600 CCA battery.
When connecting the battery, ALWAYS CONNECT
THE POSITIVE CABLE FIRST and THE NEGATIVE
