It is necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase every 3 months or Hours Meter shows “OFF”, or if it

has become contaminated with water or dirt. Drain the oil from the generator accordi ng to the

following steps:

1. Place a bucket underneath the generator to catch 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 2 1). 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 fi gure 20 above.

3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to the crankcase. We recommend SAE 10W/30

motor oil for general use. When full, the oil level should come close to the top of the oil fill

opening (see figure 2 2).
