5.3.1 Replace the oil filter and change the oil
The used oil and filter must be recycled or eliminated according to the local regulations in force. In order for the drain operation to
be more effective, it is advisable to run the generating set for a few minutes before the drain operation in order to make the oil more
fluid. If the generating set has been used and is hot, allow it to cool for approximately 30 minutes (risk of burns).
Drain the oil:
1. Place a suitable container under the oil drain plug (A14-B5), then remove the oil filler cap (A6-B2) and the oil drain plug.
2. After complete draining, screw the oil drain screw back on.
Replace the oil filter:
3. Using a suitable wrench, remove the used oil filter (A15-B6) and discard it.
4. Clean the oil filter support bracket and coat the oil filter seal with clean engine oil.

Fill up the oil:
6. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
7. Using the gauge (B3) to regularly check the level, top up with oil which complies with the technical specifications in this
manual.
Too much or too little oil can damage the generating set engine.
8. Refit the oil filler cap.
Finish the operation:
9. Wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth and check that there are no oil leaks.
