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. Place an oil drain tray under the engine.
2. Open the oil drain valve on the engine below the dipstick cap.
3. Wait for the oil to drain.
4. Close the valve.
Motor oil significantly affects the engine performance and is the main factor that
determines its service life. Use motor oil intended for diesel powered four-stroke
engines that comply with API CF Grade SAE 10W-30.
Motor oils with a different grade shown in the table can be used only if the average
ambient temperature in your area does not fall outside the specified temperature
range. SAE and API viscosity grade can be found on the container label.
