Old oil, even in small quantities, must be brought to a suitable collection point for disposal. Old

You need a 12 mm screw wrench and a recipient of sufficiant capacity to catch the oil (see oil
tank capacity) This recipient must fit below the oil drain bolt (if necessary raise the generator
horizontally on blocks or bricks)
 Place the, preferably warm machine on a level surface (warm up the engine for several
minutes if cold).
 Position the recipient below the position of the oil drain bolt
 Remove the oil drain bolt. Drain the oil completely. (Fig. 6)
