equipped.

c. Disconnect the generator set engine starting

battery, negative (--) lead first.

d. Remove the oil drain hose from its retaining

clip. Remove the cap from the oil drain hose

and lower the hose into an oil collection

container.

Electric Oil Drain/Oil Fill Pump Procedure

Connect the pump to the end of the oil drain

hose. Place the outlet of the pump into an oil

collection container. Remove the oil fill cap(s).

e. Open the oil drain valve on the engine.

f. Allow time for the engine oil to drain completely.

Electric Oil Drain/Oil Fill Pump Procedure:

Activate the pump until all of the oil is removed.

Go to step 2.

g. Close the oil drain valve.

h. Replace the cap on the oil drain hose. Replace

the oil drain hose in its retaining clip.

Replace the oil filter.

a. Remove the oil filter by rotating it

counterclockwise with an oil filter wrench.

b. Apply a light coat of clean oil to the rubber seal

of the new oil filter.

c. Install the new oil filter following the instructions

provided with the filter.

Note:

Dispose of all waste materials (engine

oil, fuel, filter, etc.) in an environmentally

safe manner.

Fill with oil.

Add new oil of the weight, grade, and

quantity specified in Section 3.5.

Electric Oil Drain/Oil Fill Pump Procedure:

Disconnect the pump. Close the oil drain valve.

Replace the cap on the oil drain hose.

Check for leaks.

a. Check that the generator set master switch is in

the OFF position.

b. Reconnect the generator set engine starting

battery, negative (--) lead last.

c. Reconnect the power to the battery charger, if

equipped.

d. Start the generator set and check for leaks

around the oil filter.

e. Stop the generator set and tighten the oil filter to
