Introduction

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual covers the operation and maintenance

of the generator set (genset) models on the front

cover. Study this manual carefully and observe all of

its instructions and precautions. Keep this manual

and the genset Installation Manual with the other ve-

hicle manuals.

Operation, Periodic Maintenance and Trouble-

shooting provide the instructions necessary for op-

erating the genset and maintaining it at top perfor-

mance. The owner is responsible for performing

maintenance in accordance with the PERIODIC

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (Page 12). This

manual also includes genset specifications, infor-

mation on how to obtain service and information for

California users.

WARNING

This genset is not a life support sys-

tem. It can stop without warning. Children, per-

sons with physical or mental limitations, and

pets could suffer personal injury or death. A per-

sonal attendant, redundant power or an alarm

system must be used if genset operation is criti-

cal.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION

When contacting an Onan dealer for parts, service

or product information, be ready to provide the mod-

el and serial numbers on the genset nameplate. Fig-

ure 1 illustrates the nameplate and its location. The

numbers in the gray boxes are typical model and se-

rial numbers. Every character in these numbers is

significant. (The last character of the model number

is the specification letter, which is important for ob-

taining the right parts.) Record the model and serial

numbers in the boxes in Figure 1 so that they are

easy to find when you need them.
