Maintenance
CAUTION!
The engine and operating equipment on the generator can get very hot
while running.
Risk of burns
► Never touch any engine parts (in particular the exhaust system) for a few min-
utes after ceasing operation.
► Allow the engine to cool off for at least five minutes before changing or check-
ing the engine oil.
Draining the engine
oil
Proceed as follows to drain off the old oil after implementing the preceding
steps in accordance with the engine manufacturer's maintenance instruc-
tions:
Requirements:
The generator is switched off
When it is still hot: Wait until the engine oil has cooled down to approx. 30°C
– 50°C.
When it is cold: Run the engine until it has heated up accordingly.
1. Place a suitable oil collection container under the generator.
2. Open the oil filling opening for better venting
.
3. Unscrew the oil drainage screw
by using the supplied tool (3.3 Scope of
).
4. The oil will drain out after it has been unscrewed.
Tip the device slightly to ensure that all of the oil drains out. You must also
ensure that no petrol can escape from the carburettor.
5. Use a lint-free cloth to wipe away any remaining oil.
6. Screw the locking screw
and the oil drainage screw
back in.
The engine's old oil has now been drained off.
NOTICE!
The other procedures for changing the engine oil correspond with the de-
tails given in the engine's operating and maintenance instructions. Take
note of the other maintenance and disposal of operating equipment in-
structions that can be found there.
Refilling with fresh
engine oil
The old engine oil has to be fully drained off.
The oil drainage screw
must be screwed back in.
1. Proceed as described in Chapter 8.3.1 Checking the oil level to refill with
fresh engine oil. Abide by the instructions covering the selection of a suitable
oil. The oil fill amount for ESE 3000BS is 0.55 l and for ESE 6000 BS and
ESE 6000 DBS 1.1 l.
2. Use the locking screw to relock the filling opening
.
The engine oil has been changed and the generator is now ready for use again.
8.4
Air filter
The air filter insert must be cleaned every 50 operating hours and also
changed if necessary. Operation with a dirty filter increases fuel consump-
tion, pollutant emissions and engine wear. A damaged or missing air filter
can destroy the engine.
