8.1 Oil change
Keeps the engine running for 5 or 10 minutes, so that the oil can reach some
temperature and decrease its viscosity (more liquid). In this way, it will be easier to
extract it completely.
1. Unscrew and remove the 4 screws (A) from the access cover for
maintenance.
2. Remove the access cover for maintenance (B).
3. Remove the oil refill cap (C) turning counter clockwise.
4. Place a suitable container to collect the used oil, near of the generator.
5. Tilting the generator, let all oil pours into the container. Keep the generator
tilted during several minutes to ensure that the most part of the oil was
expelled.
6. Once all engine oil has been extracted, clean up any spillages.
7. Refill with oil, according to the recommendations of chapter 4.1 Oil filling
and checking.
IMPORTANT: To safeguard the environmental regulations, the used oil must be
placed in a sealed container and delivered to a service station for recycling. Do not
put it in the trash or spill it on the ground.
