1. Make sure the generator is on a level
surface.
2. Open access panel. Clean around oil fill.
Remove dipstick and wipe the dipstick
with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into
the oil fill opening without screwing in.
Remove the dipstick to check the oil
mark. Add oil if the oil mark covers less
than one half of the dipstick.
3. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 2
until the oil mark reaches to the top of
dipstick . Do not over fill the crankcase.
4. Reinstall oil dipstick and access panel.
CHANGING/ADDING OIL
Avoid draining the engine oil immediately
after stopping the engine. The oil is hot
and should be handled with care to avoid
burns.
Change the oil according to the
Recommended Maintenance Schedule
above. Change the oil when the engine is
warm. This will allow for complete
drainage. Change oil more often if
operating under heavy load or high
ambient temperatures. It is also
necessary to drain the oil from the
crankcase if it has become contaminated
with water or dirt. The oil capacity of the
generator engine is 0.41 qts. Add oil
when the oil level is low. For proper type
and weight of oil refer to “add oil”
portion of the “Generator Preparation”
section.
Step 1: drain the engine oil
1.
Place the machine on a level surface
and warm up the engine for several
minutes. Prepare a used-oil pan and
socket wrench in advance.
2.
Then stop the engine.
3.
Tilt the generator so the used-oil pan
could be placed under the oil drain
position and a socket wrench could be
put inside to release the oil drain
screw.
4.
Replace the generator on a level
surface, so that the oil can be
completely drained. Keep generator
level!
5.
Check the oil drain screw. If damaged,
replace.
6.
Retighten the oil drain screw.
Drain Screw Torque:
17 N.m (1.7 kgf.m, 12 lbf.ft)
.
7.
Check for any oil leaks round the oil
drain screw.
8.
Clean any oil spillage round the oil
drain screw.
