Routine Maintenance - DAYLIFF DG 950P Installation & Operating Manual

Close fuel valve whenever generator is not operating.
!
DG 950 generators use two-stroke engines and oil must be pre-mixed with
·
petrol at the ratio of 50:1. Use fuel tank cap as an oil measure adding one
inverted capfull for each litre of fuel. Engine damage will occur without
pre-mixed oil.

5. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

For Diesel engines see separate engine manual. The below instructions apply to
petrol versions only.
ENGINE OIL
Check engine oil daily. If low refill with SAE30.
Change engine oil after first month or after 20hrs operation and thereafter every 3
months or 50 hours of operation, in both cases whichever is sooner.
AIR CLEANER
Check the air cleaner every 3 months or after 50 hours operations, whichever is
the sooner. Clean by blowing away accumulated dust and soaking in kerosene.
SPARK PLUG
A correctly set spark plug in good condition is essential for efficient engine
operation. Check the plug every 3 months or after 50 hours operation, clean with
a wire brush and set the electrode gap to 0.7-0.8mm. If general conduction is
unsatisfactory it should be changed with a NGK (BPR5ES) or similar.
