Changing the Oil

Worn out or dirty oil does not cool the generator properly
and can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
In addition to regular oil changes, it is necessary to drain the
oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with
water or dirt.
1.
Remove drain plug
Using a 12 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which
is located on the crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick
cap.
Allow all the oil to drain from the generator.
2.
Drain oil
Drain oil into an approved oil disposal container. Contact
your local auto parts store for information on oil disposal.
3.
Replace drain plug
Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 12 mm hex
wrench.
