Engine Oil Replacement
Engine oil should be replaced after the first 20 hours of operation or after the first month of
use, it should be replaced every 50 hours or 6 months after. To replace engine oil;
1) Open oil access panel, then loosen and remove the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.9.
2) Screw the oil drain pipe (B) into the oil gauge dipstick opening.
3) Tilt the generator forward and drain the oil from the engine into a pan.
4) Once all the oil has completely drained, remove oil drain pipe.
Recommended Engine Oil
It is recommended to use SAE 10W30 4-stroke gasoline engine oil. For cold weather
(below -15ºC) use SAE 5W30.
5) Using the supplied oil fill container, pour 1L (1000ml) of clean engine oil through the oil
gauge dipstick opening, fill then check oil level until the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dip-
stick or until it reaches the bottom lip of the dipstick hole.
Inspecting, Replacing or Cleaning Spark Plug (NGK BPR7ES or equivalent)
The spark plug should be checked every 50 hours of operation or every 6 months. To
replace or clean spark plug;
1) Open the rear access cover.
2) Dismantle the spark plug cap (A) Fig.10 by pulling it off the spark plug. Using the
supplied spark plug wrench, undo the spark plug by turning it counterclockwise.
3) Check to see if there is carbon sediment build-up, if so just remove it. If the carbon
sediment is excessive, replace the spark plug.
4) Measure the electrodes clearance. See Fig.11. The spark plug electrode clearance
should be between 0.7-0.8mm. If the clearance exceeds 0.8mm, replace the spark plug
with an NGK BPR7ES or equivalent.
5) Reinstall spark plug in the reverse order.
Muffler Spark Arrester Screen Maintenance
An uncleaned muffler spark arrester screen will produce louder noise levels and it will
affect the engine running. If using this generator in dusty and dirty conditions, the muffler
spark arrester screen must be cleaned to prevent clogging of the exhaust fumes. To clean
muffler spark arrester screen;
1) Make sure the generator is not running and has cooled down.
2) Undo the 4 flange head hex. bolts (A) Fig.12 and remove the muffler cover (B).
3) Loosen the clip (C) which secures the muffler spark arrester screen (D) to the muffler
and remove the spark arrester screen.
4) Inspect the spark arrester screen, clean with a metalic brush if it is necessary. If it is too
difficult to clean, replace it.
