3.2. Check and refill the engine oil.
3.2.1. To ensure the generator maintains an
optimum performance and the life of the
generator is as long as possible, it is important
to use the correct engine oil – SAE10W/30 –
SAE15W/40 (API CH-4/CF/SJ/SL diesel engine
oil or higher grade) and change after the first
20 hours, then every 100 hours.
3.2.2. If the correct engine oil is not used, or the
engine oil is not replaced every 100 hours, as
required, the risk of crankshaft bearing failure,
piston seizure, piston ring sticking and
accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, main bearing and failure of other moving
components increases significantly. The generator lifespan will be greatly reduced if oil
level and oil changes are reduced.
3.2.3. Remove oil filler cap and check engine oil level
3.2.4. If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with SAE
API CH-4/CF/SJ/SL diesel engine oil on dipstick, or to

oil filler cap when checking oil level.
