Important
Old oil moust not be disposed of in the environment, but left
to a station specialised in the disposal and/or recycling of the
same, respecting the laws in the country where the operations
are carried out.
Use oil recommended for 4-stroke Diesel engines of these types:
CCMC-D4-D5-PD2 or API-CD-CE-CF-CG or SHPD (this indication is
on the oil can).
SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use at all temperatures.
If you use monograde oil, choose the appropriate viscosity on the
basis of the average temperature of the place where the generator is
installed.
To drain the old oil easier you should run the generator for roughly 3/5
minutes, in this way the oil is more fluid and will drain better through the
drain tube when you remove the drain plug. Refill the generator with oil
of the recommended type, through the oil filler.

3.3 Extraordinary maintenance
For some maintenance operations there is the possibility of pulling
the generator out by sliding the entire bottom of the generator on
the guides fixed to the sidewalls of the casing. To set the gene-
rator basis free loosen the harness and unscrew the 4 fastening
screws. The generator unit will be extractable by ¾ of its depth.
To come to a complete extraction put the generator basis on firm
ground to protect it against possible falls and unscrew the 2 limit
stop screws. Alternatively tighten the generator basis inserting
screws in inner position.
