Fill the engine oil into the engine via feed hopper. Check oil-level after every 0,75 litres with the oil dipstick.

When the proper filling level is reached, screw in the oil cap again. Run the engine for 10 minutes and then turn it
off. Check the oil-level once more after several minutes with the oil dipstick. If it is too low, refill some oil.
10. Clean up
Wipe off all oil splashes from the generator and make sure that the drain screw has no leak.
6.8.1 After the oil change
• Screw the oil dipstick back into the check rail.
• Close the oil filling cap.
• Remove potential oil stains and splashes from the generator and surroundings.
• Close the generator casing.

• Duly dispose of used oil and filter.
Used oil is very toxic and must not be disposed with domestic waste. It is prohibited to dispose used oil with
waste water! Make sure that used oil is disposed properly (e.g.: where oil is bought or at collection stations).
