Starting Under Cold Conditions
Under extremely cold temperatures, the following conditions can occur. Follow the instructions listed below
when operating
your generator set in cold weather.
Lubricating oil turns viscous - Make certain that the lubricating oil used conforms with the ratings for the
prevailing atmospheric temperature. Refer
to the "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" section of this manual, page 48,
for an atmospheric/oil viscosity specification table.
