REPLACING OR ADDING MOTOR OIL
If the oil level drops, fresh oil must be added to ensure proper operation of the
generator. Check the oil level according to the maintenance schedule.
To drain oil, proceed as follows:
1. Wear protective gloves to avoid getting oil on your skin.
2. Place the waste oil tank under the oil bleeder screw (see Fig. 13).
3. Loosen the screw under the engine with a wrench.
4. Wait for the oil to drain.
5. Replace the drain cap and tighten securely.
6. It is better to drain oil while the engine is still hot after operation to ensure
quick and complete oil draining.
To add oil, proceed as follows:
1. Wear protective gloves to avoid getting oil on your skin.
2. Make sure the generator is mounted on a flat, level surface.
3. Unscrew the oil crankcase cover on the back of the generator (see figure above).
4. Use a funnel to fill the crankcase with high-grade oil. The funnel is not included.
5. Check the oil level with the oil dipstick (Fig. 13). After filling, the oil level must be
within the max and min marks.
