The drive motor for your generator, like every internal combustion engine,
requires the required engine oil for cooling and inner cooling. It is also im-
portant to use the correct oil, both for refilling and changing oil, and to ob-
serve the prescribed maintenance intervals.
To refill and when changing oil, use a commercially available multigrade oil with
a viscosity of 10W-30 for four stroke engines as also used in automobile engines.
This applies for use of a generator in temperate climates. At very low or very high
outside temperatures it may well be necessary to use an engine oil of another
viscosity. Please take more precise information from the following info. graphic.

Your generator is fitted with an oil lack automatic switching off system to avoid
engine damage occurring due to a low engine level. It has two functions:
1) it prevents the engine from starting for an inadequate engine oil level
2) it switches off the drive motor when the engine oil level falls below the mini-
