Changing the Oil
It is only necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase, other than for regular oil
changes, if it has become contaminated with water or dirt. In this case, you can drain
the oil from the generator according to the following steps:
1. Place an approved oil disposal container underneath the generator to
catch the oil as it drains.
2. Using a 10 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which is located on
the crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap (see figure 16). Allow all
the oil to drain from the generator.
3. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 10 mm hex wrench.
To add oil to the crankcase, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 14
above.
3. Using a funnel, add motor oil to the crankcase. We recommend SAE 10W30
motor oil for general use. When full, the oil level should come close in the top
of the oil fill opening. (See figure 17).
