recommendations. For any questions about a special operation, please contact your nearest agent who will advise and help you.

more fluid.

2. Open the oil drain tap (A14-B5).
3. Once the oil has drained completely, close the oil drain tap and tighten the oil drain screw.
Replace the oil filter:
4. Using a suitable wrench, remove the used oil filter (A15-B6) and discard it.
5. Clean the oil filter holder and coat the new oil filter seal with clean engine oil.
6. Fit the new oil filter, tightening it by hand.
Fill up the oil:
7. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
8. Using the dipstick (A6-B1), to regularly check the level, top up with oil that complies with the technical specifications in this
manual.
Too much or too little oil can damage the generating set.
9. Refit the oil filler cap.
