To assure full and quick drainage, remove oil contents while
the motor is still warm.

screw back.
Select motor oil with viscosity
adequate for the region average
temperature.
For maintenance or repairs use only Truper ®
original spare parts. Using non-original parts could damage
the generator
Maintenance Agenda
We recommend doing maintenance in the generator each
month or hours of operation whichever comes first in the
Periodic Maintenance Table.
Used motor oil is a cause of skin cancer
when in contact with skin for long periods of time. However,
this is almost impossible to happen if using oil in minimal
daily proportions. Washing hands with soap and water is
recommended after working with oil.
Please dispose off oil in an environment friendly
way. We suggest to pour oil in a sealed container and to take it
to your local gas station. Do not dispose with household waste
or pour in the ground.
Oil Filter
A dirty oil filter will block air entering the carburetor. Clean
regularly to prevent carburetor failure. (Figure 10).
1. Remove the oil filter cap. Remove screw and air filter
cover.
2. Wash cartridge with a household detergent and water
solution. Rinse or clean with low ignition degree or non-
flammable solvents. Dry cartridge completely.
