HOW TO DRAIN OIL
1. Follow steps 1 to 4 in HOW TO CHECK OIL.
2. Remove the crankcase dipstick.
3. Place an oil pan underneath the engine (Fig. 12). Tilt generator to collect
used oil. Allow oil to drain completely.
4. Return generator to a level surface.
5. Carefully add 4-Cycle engine oil (SAE 10W30)
to empty reservoir until oil reaches the outer
edge of the oil fill hole.
6. Use a clean rag to wipe up any spilled oil.
7. Replace crankcase dipstick.
8. Reinstall outer casing and tighten screws.
IMPORTANT! Used oil must be disposed of properly. Do not pour it on the
ground, down a drain or throw it in the trash. Take the oil to your local
recycling centre or a service station for reclamation.
SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will allow
dust and debris to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or scoring on
the engine pistons. Always ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If the
engine is used in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more frequently than specified in
the maintenance schedule.
1. Remove the side panel and filter housing cover (Fig. 13).
2. Remove the foam air filter from the air filter housing.
3. Clean the housing interior with warm soap and
water. Allow to dry before reassembly.
4. Pour a small amount of oil onto the foam
element and squeeze out the excess. Do not
wring the oil out.
5. Reinsert the foam element into the air filter case.
6. Screw the side panel back into place.
