§ Position the recipient below the position of the oil drain bolt
§ Remove the oil drain bolt. Drain the oil completely.
§ Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap and O-ring. If damaged replace.
§ Reinstall the oil drain bolt.
§ Refill engine oil to the upper level. (see below)
11.3 Pouring or topping up oil
CAUTION: Be sure no foreign material enters the crankcase.
A spray bottle or a funnel with curved neck are best suited for pouring oil.
§ The generator must rest on a horizontal surface.
§ Place a small dish under the oil filler neck or lay a rag underneath to catch any oil drip
§ Turn the plug counterclockwise to remove.
§ Pour the oil slowly and carefully into the fill neck until it almost overflows.
§ Insert the plug again into the filler neck and turn until tight.
11.4 Air filter
Maintaining an air filter in clean condition is very important. Dirt induced through improperly
installed, improperly serviced, or inadequate elements damages and wears out engines. Keep
the element always clean.
§ Open both clip fasteners on the air filter housing and remove the lid.
§ Remove fine filter from the housing. Clean it by beating and shaking it.
§ If necessary, wash the fine filter in cleaning petrol, dry it carefully, and oil it very slightly
with motor oil. Squeeze out the fine filter thoroughly.
§ Also clean the housing carefully.
§ Replace the fine filter in the housing.
§ Replace the lid on the air filter, and close the clip fasteners.
CAUTION: The engine should never run without the air filter element;
excessive piston and/or cylinder wear will result. Cleaning the air filter:
11.5 Cleaning / adjusting / replacing spark plug
Easy starting and optimum running of the engine is only possible when the spark plug is clean
and correctly mounted.
§ Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
§ Place spark plug key on the spark plug and unscrew it.
§ The spark plug should be light to dark brown (Standard electrode color: Tan Color). A
black spark plug indicates that the mixture is too rich (choke used for too long, frequent
running for short periods).
§ Clean the spark plug with a spark plug brush. (This has copper bristles - do not use a steel
brush, otherwise you will damage the spark plug!)
§ Check the gap between the electrodes with a gauge. It should be between 0.6 and 0.8
mm. If necessary, adjust the gap by carefully bending the electrode. If the gap is too wide,
the ignition spark is too weak or may be completely absent. If the gap is too small, the
electrode becomes burnt, and the plug will not spark reliably.
§ If the electrode is burnt, or the ceramic insulator is damaged, replace the spark plug. Use
spark plugs of the following types: TORCH A7RTC. / CHAMPION Z8YC / NGK BPR6ES /
BOSCH UR5AS
§ Re-place the spark plug in its housing and screw it tight by hand. The spark plug must
allow itself to be screwed in very easily. - otherwise unscrew again, check the thread for
foreign bodies and screw in again (straight).
§ Use a plug spanner to tighten the hand-tightened spark plug by a further quarter revolution
and no more, otherwise the thread will be damaged.
§ Re-place the spark plug cable on the spark plug and ensure that it is seated tightly.
