3.13.2 RETURN TO SERVICE
To return the unit to service after storage, proceed
as follows:
1. Check the tag on the engine for oil viscosity and
classification. Verify that the correct recommend-
ed oil is used in the engine (see Section 1.5.4,
Page 6). If necessary, drain and refill with the
proper oil.
2. Check the state of the battery. Fill all cells of
unsealed batteries to the proper level with distilled
water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN THE BAT-
TERY. Recharge the battery to 100 percent state of
charge, or, if defective, replace the battery.
3. Clean and wipe the entire generator.
4. Reconnect the battery. Observe battery polarity.
Damage may occur if the battery is connected
incorrectly.
5. Turn OFF all electrical loads. Add fuel if neces-
sary and then start the engine.
6. Allow the unit to warm up thoroughly.
7. Apply electrical loads to at least 50 percent of the
unit’s rated wattage capacity.
8. When the engine is thoroughly warmed up, shut
it down.
9. Your generator is now ready for service.
