- If the generator often operates at high temperature or high load, the oil should be replaced every 25 operating hours.
- If the engine often runs in dusty or other harsh conditions, clean the air filter every 10 operating hours.
- If you missed the maintenance time, perform it as soon as possible to save the generator engine.
Motor oil has a serious impact on performance charac-
teristics and is a major attribute, defining its service life.
Use oils designed for four-stroke cycle vehicle engines,
since such oils contain cleaning additives, which comply
or even exceed SE standards according to API classification
(or equivalent).

In general, the engine is recommended to run with motor oils of SAE10W-30, SAE10W-40 viscosity level. Motor oils
with other viscosity levels, may be used only if the average air temperature in your region does not exceed the limits
of the temperature range, specified in the table. Oil viscosity according to SAE standards or service category, are
specified on the API capacity sticker.
Stop the engine before servicing. Place the generator on a flat
surface and remove the spark plug cap to prevent starting the
engine.
