REPLACING OR ADDING MOTOR OIL:
REPLACING OR ADDING MOTOR OIL:
Upon oil level decrease it is necessary to add the required quantity in order
to provide the correct generator operation. It is necessary to check the oil levels
according to technical maintanance schedule.
Motor oil has a serious impact on performance
characteristics 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. Do not run the engine in a poorly ventilated room or a closed room.
The working area should be well ventilated. Emission from the engine contain toxic CO
2
, inhalation of
which can cause shock, loss of consciousness and even death.

Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine.
The oil is hot and should be handled with care to avoid burns.
ATTENTION - DANGER!
TO DRAIN OIL, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
TO DRAIN OIL, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Place the generator on a flat surface and warm up the engine for several minutes. Stop the engine and turn the
fuel tank cap to the “OFF” position.
2. Loosen the screws and remove the motor cover.
3. Place an oil drain tray under the engine.
4. Unscrew the oil drain cap with a hexagon key.
5. Wait for the oil to drain. Tilt the generator for a better result.
6. Add motor oil to a high level.
7. Wipe the oil drain cap with a clean, dry cloth and wipe off any oil spills, if any. Make sure that no dirt, dust, etc.
are caught in the crankcase.
8. Replace the oil filler cap.
9. Replace the vent cover and tighten the screws.
Do not tilt the generator while adding oil to the engine. This can
lead to overfilling and damage to the engine.
ATTENTION - DANGER!
AIR FILTERTECHNICAL MAINTENANCE
10
Air filter cleaning is to be performed each 50 hours of the generator operation (every 10 hours in unusually dusty
conditions).
