engines)
- Sealing for oil drain screw
- Personal protective gear
- Container to collect used oil (heat resistant and
of sufficient size)
- Open-ended wrench for oil drain screw

The generator must be placed at level.
• with vehicular generators: Place the vehicle on a levelled surface.
• with PSC generators: Place the generator on a levelled surface.
• with marine generators: Change the oil when the ship is not lop-sided.
Run the generator for about 10 minutes to ensure that the engine is warm.
Wait for 3 minutes, so the oil can flow back into the oil pan.
Caution: Burn hazard!
Generator and coolant can be hot during and after operating.
Wear personal protective equipment. (Gloves, protective goggles, protective
clothing and safety shoes)
1. Prepare generator.

- with generators that have an internal oil drain hose: Open the lead-through for the oil drain hose (left turn of the
sealing). Pull out the sealing with the oil drain hose.
Place an oil resistant mat under the oil drain hose area and prepare the container.
