“HOW-TO” MAINTENANCE
Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair.
NOTE
It is recommended to use ear protection when performing operation, maintenance and repair
of the generator set.
1. ENGINE OIL CHANGE
a)
Change engine oil every 100 hours. (For new engine, change oil after 20 hours).
b)
Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil filler cap while the engine is warm.
c)
Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until it reaches the upper level on the oil
filler cap.
d)
Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the specified level as directed on page 6. If
contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not sufficient,
engine damage will result and its life will be greatly shortened.
2. SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very important.
Dirt induced through improperly installed, improperly serviced or inadequate elements causes
damage and wears out the engine. Always keep the element clean.
a)
Remove the bolt of air cleaner cover.
b)
Remove the air cleaner cover and cleaner element.

Urethane foam: wash urethane foam element in kerosene or diesel fuel. Then saturate the
element in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene or diesel fuel and 1 part engine oil. Squeeze the
element to remove the mixture and install it in the air cleaner.
NOTE
Instead of washing oil (kerosene), it is possible to wash the urethane foam element in a solution
of mild detergent and warm water. Then rinse the element thoroughly in clean water. Allow the
element to dry thoroughly. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out excel oil.
3. CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG

If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove it and clean it with a plug cleaner or wire
brush.
