read after screwing the cap all the way into its
seat.
If the oil level fails to reach the upper notch on
the dipstick (fig. 36), top up via the access hole
itself.
To restore the oil level use the same type of lu-
bricant already present in the engine.
Once the task has been completed make sure
the cap is securely in its seat.
Do not pour oil to exceed the maxi-
mum level indicated on the dipstick.
9.3 Maintenance operations to be carried out
by skilled personnel

9.3.1 Engine oil replacement

•
Hot oil can scald.
•
Operating the generating set with a low
level of lubricant would severely damage
the engine.
To make it easier to drain the spent engine oil, it
is advisable to let the engine run for approxi-
mately 2 minutes; in this way, the oil will be more
fluid and emptying will be quicker and more thor-
ough.
The drain plug for emptying the oil sump is lo-
cated on the generator underside (fig.37 ref. 1).
Remove the oil filler cap (fig. 35 ref. 1).

Remove the rubber guard (fig. 37 ref. 4) on the
generator bottom. Then remove the drain plug
and relative gasket (fig. 37 ref. 3 and ref. 2) and
drain all the oil into a container suitable for collec-
tion of the spent lubricant.
After emptying, screw the drain plug back in and
restore the lubricant level through the special
filler (fig.35 ref. 1) by checking the level with the
dipstick (fig.36). Fill the oil sump with approxi-
mately 0.6 litres of oil.
Use multigrade type oil for gasoline engines with
a SAE viscosity degree suitable for the local cli-
mate according to the table.
Spent oil should not be disposed
freely in the environment but taken to special
disposal centres carrying out disposal and/or
recycling in compliance with the applicable
law provisions in force in the country of use.
