8.1 Oil change
1. 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.
2. Under the oil drain hole, place a suitable container to collect the used oil.
3. Unscrew the oil drain screw by turning it counter clockwise. Save the screw and
its gasket.
4. Remove the cap with the oil level, so that the engine receives air and expels the
oil faster.
5. Make sure the fuel selector is in the OFF position. Then, turn the engine by
pulling the starter rope smoothly. Thus, the oil housed in the moving parts of the
engine can be extracted.

6. Once all the engine oil has been extracted, put back the drain screw with its
gasket. In case of spillages, clean.
7. Refill with recommended oil up to the maximum level, without exceeding it. With
the generator levelled, the oil must not exceed the level. (For the type of oil, see
point 4.3 of this manual).
