Lubrication System
Circuit description
The lubrication circuit is forced by the trochoid gear pump, and it is composed of the following
elements.
*Including filter change (0,5l)
The minimum oil pressure in all lubrication system is 0,1 kg/cm².
Oil specifications
Use oil with 15W40 viscosity (this is an all-season oil for temperatures
ranging between -15ºC and +40ºC) or select the most suitable oil viscosity for
the atmospheric temperatures on which the genset is going to be operated. On
the other hand, use oil quality no less than ACEA E5/E3 or API CH-4/SJ. Other
genset oils may affect warranty coverage, cause internal genset components
to seize and/or shorten genset life.
Never mix different types of genset oil. This may adversely affect the lubricating properties of
the genset oil.
Maintenance task. Oil filter change
The oil filter is located under inlet manifold of the engine.
When fitting a fresh oil filter, smear a small quantity of oil into the
annular seal and firmly tighten it with the hand. When this operation
is finished, start the genset and check oil is not leaking.
