7.3 CHANGING THE OIL
WARNING!
Used motor oil can cause skin irritations if left in long-term
contact with skin. Thoroughly wash off used oil as soon as
possible with soap and water.
Do not dispose of used oil in drains or on soil. Local service
shops provide environmentally-friendly disposal methods.
Drain the oil rapidly and completely while warm:
1.
Place the generator on a level surface.
2.
Unscrew and remove the engine access panel. With the screws loose work
the snapfits free around the perimeter, it may require some force.
3.
Unscrew the oil cap and drain the old oil into a suitable container. Dispose
of properly.
4.
Fill with 12 fl. Oz. / 0.35L fresh oil, SAE10W-30 or synthetic 5W-30.
5.
Reinsert the oil cap
without
screwing it back in. Remove the cap and
examine the oil level on the dipstick.
6.
If the level is at or below the minimum oil level marked on the dipstick, add
to the maximum oil level mark.
7.
Reinsert the oil cap and tighten securely. Replace the engine access panel
and screws.
