2. Place an oil drain tray under the engine.
3. Unscrew the drain cap located on the engine under the dipstick cap with a
10 mm wrench (for generators up to 3.0 kW) or 12 mm (for generators above
3.0 kW).
4. Wait for the oil to drain.
5. Replace the drain cap and tighten securely.
6. It is better to drain oil while the engine is still hot after operation to ensure
quick and complete oil draining.
To add oil, proceed as follows:
1. Wear protective gloves to avoid getting oil on your skin.
2. Make sure the generator is mounted on a at, level surface.
3. Unscrew the dipstick cap on the engine.
4. Use a funnel to ll the crankcase with high-grade oil. The funnel is not
