Replacement of engine oil and engine oil filter
You require:
- Engine oil. See attachment.
- New oil filter (not with generators with EA300
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
- Paper towels and cloth
- Oil resistant mat, so prevent used oil from
getting into underground water
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.
- Assure generator against accidental start.
- Open the generator casing.
- with generators that have an external oil drain hose: Release the oil drain hose from the mounting.
- 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.
