Installation Procedure
Note: Read all safety precautions at the beginning of
this publication before performing any work on
the generator set.
1. Remove the generator set from service.
1.1 Press the generator set OFF/RESET button to
shut down the generator set.
1.2 Disconnect the power to the battery charger, if
equipped.
1.3 Disconnect the generator set engine starting
battery(ies), negative (--) lead first.
2. Install the oil level indicator kit.
Note: Apply pipe sealant to the threads of the hose
connectors.
2.1 Remove the oil drain plug and allow the oil to drain
completely. See the Service Views in the
operation manual for the oil drain location.
Note: Dispose of all waste materials (engine oil,
fuel, filter, etc.) in an environmentally safe
manner and in accordance with all
applicable laws.
2.2 Remove the pipe plug at the oil pan connection
(located on the left side of the engine) and install
the hose connector (X-582-5). See Figure 2,
item 5.
2.3 Secure the bracket (GM86335-WHT or
GM86335-G49) to the service side (right-hand
side) of the skid using 2 screws (M933-10025-60)
and 2 nuts (M6923-10-80). See Figure 2 for
bracket position.
2.4 Secure the oil level gauge (227257) to the bracket
using 4 mounts (241769), 4 lock washers
(X-22-12), and 4 nuts (X-6210-2).
2.5 Install the coupling (X-567-1) into the oil gauge.
See Figure 2 for location.
2.6 Install the hose connector (X-582-5) into the back
of the oil level gauge. See Figure 2, item 11.
2.7 Secure the oil hose (X-422-36) to the hose
connector in the oil pan using a hose clamp
(X-426-12).
2.8 Place the restrictor plug (GM98574) in the other
end of the oil hose (X-422-36) and secure it to the
hose connector in the back of the oil gauge using a
hose clamp (X-426-12).
2.9 Cut the copper tubing at a slight angle at the
beginning of the arc for hose attachment. See
Figure 2, item 16.
2.10 Attach one end of the hose (X-386-56) to the copper
tubing using a hose clamp (X-426-9) to secure.
Note: Place hose clamps 6 mm (0.25 in.) from
the hose end and tighten.
2.11 Remove the existing plate and replace with a new
cover plate (GM47418-WHT or GM47418-G49)
reusing the existing hardware. See Figure 2,
item 17.
2.12 Insert the hose elbow (X-391-44) as shown in
Figure 2, item 18.
2.13 Connect the other end of the hose (X-386-56) to
the hose elbow using a hose clamp (X-426-9) to
secure.
3. Replenish engine oil.
3.1 Replace the oil drain plug and refill the engine with
oil. See the operation manual for complete oil fill
instructions.
4. Wire the oil level gauge.
4.1 See Figure 4 for wiring to the oil level gauge.
Note: Figure 4 shows a partial view of the wiring
diagram. For a complete wiring diagram, see the
generator operation manual.
4.2 If the generator set does not have a
Decision-Makert3500 controller, see the
instructions supplied with the oil level gauge for
wiring the gauge to a customer-provided light or
alarm.
