Maintenance Instructions<br />
paper towels / cloth for the oil dipstick<br />
The generator must be placed at level.<br />
• with vehicular generators: Place the vehicle on a levelled surface.<br />
• with PSC generators: Place the generator on a levelled surface.<br />
• with marine generators: Measure the oil-level when the ship is not lop-sided.<br />
Run the generator for about 10 minutes to ensure that the engine is warm. Wait for 3 minutes, so the oil can flow<br />
back into the oil pan.<br />
Generator and coolant can be hot during and after operating.<br />
Wear personal protective equipment. (Gloves, protective goggles, protective<br />
clothing and safety shoes)<br />
Caution: Burn hazard!<br />
• Assure generator against accidental start.<br />
• Open the generator casing.<br />
• Pull the oil dipstick out of the check rail.<br />
• Clean oil dipstick.<br />
• Put the oil dipstick back into the check rail and wait for 10 seconds.<br />
• Pull the oil dipstick out of the check rail and read off the oil-level at the lower end of the stick.<br />
Oil dipstick<br />
The oil-level is to be checked by means of the oil dipstick. The prescribed filling<br />
level must not cross the „Max“-mark.<br />
We recommend an oil-level of 2/3.<br />
