2-2.2 Fill Engine Oil
Fabrication Oil Filling Inlet
Put the generator set in a level state. Fill the oil into the
oil-filling inlet. At the time of checking the oil level, it is
necessary only to lightly insert the oil ruler. Please pay
attention that you should not rotate the oil ruler.
Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator engine. If you use
poor engine oil or if you don’t change the oil regularly, the piston and cylinder will wear easily or
seize up. Also, the life of the other parts in your engine such as bearings, and other rotating parks
will shorten considerably.
Although there is an alarm system for low oil
pressure, it is always a good idea to check the
amount of oil inside the engine. If the oil level
is low, fill it before starting the engine. A good
time to drain the oil from the engine is when
the diesel engine is still hot. If the engine is fully
cooled, it is more difficult to drain all the oil out
and some impurities will remain in the engine.
