MAINTENANCE
DRAINING/CHANGING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule.
Change the 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. Changing
the oil when the engine is warm allows for complete drainage.
To change engine oil:
1. With the help of another person, place the generator on an elevated platform such as table or
workbench.
NOTE: To avoid possible oil spills from the carburetor bowl, drain the carburetor before draining oil.
2. Unscrew the oil side cover bolts, and remove the cover from the side panel.
3. Place a suitable container underneath the generator to catch the used oil.
4. Remove the oil dipstick to allow the oil drain completely.
NOTE: Never dispose of used engine oil in the trash or down a drain. Please call a local recycling center or
auto garage to arrange proper oil disposal.
5.
Checking/Adding engine oil section previously in this manual.
6. Reinstall the oil dipstick and tighten it securely. Wipe clean any oil spillage and reinstall the oil access
cover.
