7.4.1 Motor oil replacement
Use multigrade detergent oil for Diesel motors
having an SAE viscosity suited to the climate the
generating set is working in (see table and de-
tailed instructions shown on the motor use and
maintenance manual).
To make it easier to drane the motor oil out, it is
best to heat the motor for 3 - 5 minutes; this way,
the oil will be more fluid and draining will be
quicker and more complete.
Loosen the drain plug on the sump by a few
turns, and let all the oil run out into a collection
container (Fig. 18 ref. 1).
When this has been done, screw the cap back on
again and restore the oil level inside the motor,
using the filler (Fig. 15 ref. 2).
The engine oil capacity is 0.95 L, refill to correct
level as per sectio 7.3.
•
Hot oil can scald.
•
Running the motor when the oil level is too
low can damage it seriously.
•
Check the oil level when the motor has been
turned off.
Used oil must not be dis-
posed of in the open, but handed over to
companies specialising in disposal and/or re-
cycling according to the laws current in the
country where such operations are per-
formed.
7.4.2 Air filter maintenance
A dirty air filter will reduce
the air flow to the carburettor. To prevent
carburettor malfunction, check the air filter
regularly. If the motor is used in an especially
dusty environment, we suggest you check it
every time before starting up.
Never use Diesel fuel or
solvents with a low evaporation point for
cleaning the air filter cartridge.
Never run the motor without the air filter Paper
cartridge (Fig. 19 ref. 3); the motor would wear
down quickly.
Strike the cartridge lightly a few times against a
hard surface in order to remove the dust, or use
compressed air to blow from inside out. Never
brush the cartridge. Brushing drives the dust into
the fibres. Replace the cartridge if very dirty.
The cartridge is located inside a plastic container
(Fig. 20 ref. 1). To remove the cartridge, open the
container lid unscrewing the knob (Fig. 20 ref. 2).
