It is only necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with
water or dirt.
In
this case, you can drain the oil from the generator according to the following
steps:
1.
Place a bucket underneath the generator to catch oil
as
it drains.
2.
Using a
10
mm
hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which
is
located
on
the
crankcase underneath the oil filler/dipstick cap (see
figure
16).
Allow all the oil to drain
from the generator.
3.
Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a
10
mm
hex wrench.
To
add oil to the crankcase, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the generator
is
on
a level surface.
2.
Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown
in
figure
14
above.
3.
Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to the crankcase. We recommend SAE
10W30 motor oil for general use. When full, the oil level should come close
in
the top
of the oil fill opening
(see figure 17).
