3.2.2.
If the correct engine oil is not used, or the engine oil is not replaced every 100 hours,
as required, the risk of crankshaft bearing failure, piston seizure, piston ring sticking
and accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, main bearing and failure of other moving
components increases significantly. The generator lifespan will be greatly reduced if oil
level and oil changes are reduced.
3.2.3.
Remove dipstick and check engine oil level.
3.2.4.
If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with SAE API CH-4/CF/SJ/SL diesel
engine oil on dipstick, or to the top of filler neck. N.B. do not screw oil filler in the oil
filler cap when checking oil level.
3.2.5.
Change contaminated oil.
