EcoGen Oil Change Procedure

WARNING
Skin irritation. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with
used motor oil. Used motor oil has been shown to cause
skin cancer in laboratory animals. Thoroughly wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
Proceed as follows to change the oil:
1. Set generator MLCB (generator disconnect) to
OFF (OPEN).
2. Press MANUAL button to operate the unit.
3. Allow engine to warm up to operating temperature,
by running unit for approximately 20 minutes
4. Press OFF button to shut down engine.
5. Allow oil to settle for 10 minutes.
NOTE: Allowing engine to run at operating temperature
increases engine oil viscosity so it can be easily drawn
out of the system. Allowing oil to settle ensures oil has
thoroughly drained to the tank and equipment is cool
enough to handle during the procedure. Always follow all
safety precautions when working with this equipment.
6. See Figure 4-5. Remove oil filter (A) by turning it
counterclockwise. A towel or small container may
be used to catch any residual oil when removing fil-
ter.
