cooled down. Operation under dusty conditions may
shorten the maintenance intervals.

12.5.1 Oil change
Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil
specification to select the correct oil grade for your ope-
rating environment. When operating in dusty environ-
ments or at high outside temperatures, change the oil at
shorter intervals.
Step 1: Switch off the power generator and let it cool
down.
Step 2: Place a tub to collect the oil under the engine.
Step 3: Remove the oil drain plug and drain the oil com-
pletely.
Step 4: Clean the area around the oil filler opening.
Step 5: Replace the drain plug.
Step 6: Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick to top up oil.
Step 7: Slowly pour the new oil into the engine until the
required level is reached at the bottom edge of
the filler neck. Never exceed the maximum fill
level!

fore starting the engine!

12.5.2 Spark plug maintenance
Used Spark plug
OEM Spark Plug: TORCH F6RTC
Check the spark plug regularly, replace if necessary. The
generator then starts more easily and runs better.
Step 1: Switch off the power generator and let it cool
down.
Step 2: Remove the spark plug connector and unscrew
the spark plug with a spark plug wrench (not in-
cluded).
Step 3: Check the electrode on the spark plug. The
electrode must be clean and not worn to pro-
duce the spark required for ignition.
Step 4: Check the coloration. The carbon film on the
porcelain insulator around the electrode on the
spark plug must be light brown. Make sure that
the spark plug gap is 0.7 - 0.8 mm.

Step 5: Screw the cleaned or new spark plug into the
cylinder head. Use a spark plug wrench to tigh-
ten the spark plug.
Step 6: Attach the plug connector, mount the protective
cap and cover.
DANGER!
- Hot oil can cause burns. Let the engine cool down a
little before changing the oil.
- Avoid skin contact with the used oil.
NOTE!
After filling in oil, a visual check should show that the
level is at the bottom edge of the filling opening.
