ROUTINE AND PERIODIC

MAINTENANCE

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

To prevent the engine from accidentally starting, dis-

connect the spark plug lead before servicing the

engine.

See Table D.1 for a summary of maintenance inter-

vals for the items listed below. Follow either the

hourly or the calendar intervals, whichever come first.

More frequent service may be required, depending on

your specific application and operating conditions.

Table D.2 shows engine maintenance replacement

parts and numbers.

OIL: Check the oil level after every 5

hours of operation or daily. BE SURE

TO MAINTAIN THE OIL LEVEL.

Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-

ation. Then, under normal operating conditions,

change the oil after every 50 hours or once a year,

whichever occurs first. If the engine is operated

under heavy load or in high ambient temperatures,

change the oil every 25 hours.

Drain the oil from the drain plug located on the side of

the engine block or from the drain plug located at the

bottom of the engine cover on the generator end.

Remove the oil dip-stick and add 1.5 quarts of oil.

Check the level with the dip-stick. Do not overfill.

Use the grade and viscosity recommended in the

Engine Owner’s Manual.
