11.2.2 Oil change
Change the engine oil after 20 operating hours, then after
50 hours or every three months.
The engine oil change should be carried out while the engine
is at operating temperature.
1.
Place the power generator on a level, even surface.
2.
Remove the engine cover (3) as described in 9.1. (Fig. 7)
3.
Provide a collection container (not included in the scope
of delivery).
4.
Open the oil dipstick (16) and drain warm engine oil into
the collection container by tilting the power generator.

Dispose of the used oil properly.
11.2.3 Air filter (Fig. 10)
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without a filter element or with a dam-
aged filter element can cause engine damage.
- Never run the engine without the air filter element or with
a damaged filter element. This would allow dirt into the en-
gine, which would result in severe damage to the engine.
Clean the air filter (19) every 50 operating hours, replace if
necessary.
1.
Remove the engine cover (3) (Fig. 7).
2.
Remove the wing screw (17) (Fig. 9).
3.
Unfold the air filter cover (18).
4.
Remove the air filter (19).
5.
Do not use harsh cleaners or petrol to clean the filter.
6.
Clean the elements by knocking them out on a flat sur-
face. If heavily soiled, wash with soapy water, then rinse
with clean water and allow to air dry.
7.
The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
11.2.4 Spark plug (Fig. 11 + 12)
m ATTENTION: Only replace the spark plug when
the engine is cold!
Check the spark plug (20) for contamination for the first time
after 20 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush
if necessary. Then maintain the spark plug (20) every 50 op-
erating hours.
1.
Open the spark plug cover (4).
2.
Pull off the spark plug connector (21) with a twisting mo-
tion.
3.
Remove the spark plug (20) with the enclosed spark plug
wrench (15).

Remove any dirt from the base of the spark plug (20).
5.
Visually inspect the spark plug (20). Remove any depos-
its present using a wire brush.

to 0.7 mm with a feeler gauge.
7.
The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
NOTE
A loose spark plug can overheat and cause damage to the
engine. Tightening the spark plug too much can damage the
thread in the cylinder head.
11.2.5 Clean the fuel filter insert (Fig. 13 + 14)
