Safety first. "Ground the generator"
Coolant all full?
NOTE: Spin-on fuel filter is sometimes a bear to get off. It actually does come off. The cup canister fuel filter has a little tiny rubber gasket around the top of the cup. You can use a dab of grease to hold it inplace, and make sure it goes up into the little recess all the way around. OK, oil filter on, oil filled.
The fuel system is a return to tank circle. All new fuel filters in place, Dead crank switch to "Normal", turn the S-1 (start switch) and wait. You will hear a hollow type sound, and after a few minutes, the sound will change to a fuller sound. That means the fuel filters are all full of fuel, and any excess is returned to the tank.
But wait..
In the engine compartment, you can hit the "Dead Crank Switch" for a few seconds to get the oil moved around, and then put it back to normal.
Have a AMM meter ready, have maybe something to plug in to the convenience outlet. (10amp max) circuit breaker for it, and inside the control cube, behind the outlet.
Fresh diesel in system. Maybe some additives too.
Be prepared to shut it off.
Is the "Fuse mod in place"?
Yes, continue
When starting, always pause a moment at "Prime & Run" turn to start and hold it there. Keep holding until oil pressure rises. Release.
Check all gauges, check and adjust speed, adjust AMM meter selection to 1 phase, have it running around 61Hz, and 240volts. Use your meter and check the convenience outlet.
Close the circuit interrupter, should have a green light.
Use your meter to check lugs.
Look over the fuel return lines. They start weeping fuel. All that is in that thread too.
