Maintenance
Perform the scheduled maintenance procedures as defined
by Table 11 and below:
Engine Oil
Every 100 hours: Change engine oil after the first 50 hours
of operation and 100 hours thereafter. Always check the
crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the fuel tank
is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe engine damage.
Make sure generator is level when checking oil level. The
oil level must be between the two notches on the dipstick
as shown in Figure 15.
1. Remove engine oil drain plug located at the bottom of
the generator enclosure (Figure 35) and drain oil from
crankcase. For best results drain oil while engine is
warm. Reinstall oil drain plug, and add engine oil as
specified in Table 8. Crankcase oil capacity is 2.64 qts.
(2.5 liters).

Oil Filter Cartridge
Every 200 hours: Replace the engine oil filter cartridge
after every 200 hours of operation.
1. Clean oil filter mounting base, and coat oil filter seal
(Figure 36) with clean engine oil.

2. Screw on new oil filter by hand until seal contacts the
filter mounting base. Install drain bolt with sealing
washer and hand tighten.
NOTICE
When installing the oil filter, coat rubber seal with a
small amount of lubricant (motor oil). DO NOT over-
tighten cartridge. Hand tighten only.
3. Replace engine oil with recommended type oil as listed
in Table 8. For engine oil capacity, see Table 2 (engine
specifications). Fill to upper limit as shown in Figure 15.
Engine Air Filter
Every 50 hours: Replace air filter on the KUBOTA
Z482 engine. This is a dry type filter. NEVER apply oil
to it. If generator is used in severe dusty areas service
air cleaner element more frequently.
1. Release the air cleaner retaining clamps (Figure 37)
and remove the air cleaner element.

2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner with a clamp cloth and
remove all dust and debris that may have accumulated
inside air cleaner body.
3. Tap the paper filter element (Figure 37) several times
on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed
air [not exceeding 99 psi (686 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)]
through the filter element from the inside while turning
the element. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force
dirt into the fibers.
4. Replace the filter element once a year or every six
cleanings or if it is excessively dirty.
