⚠ Charged capacitors can be lethal. Do not touch capacitor contacts.

Tools: multimeter with capacitor measuring, discharge reactor 5-10 kOhm, insulated pliers/screwdriver

1. Never check capacitors while generator motor is running.
2. Disconnect terminal lead wires using insulated pliers or screwdriver.
3. Discharge capacitor terminals by bridging with discharge reactor.
4. For three-phase capacitors discharge between L1-L2, L2-L3, L1-L3.
5. Switch multimeter to capacitor measuring; connect probes to terminals.
6. Measure capacity of each capacitor.

6. Pull and read oil level at lower end.
7. Refill if under 1/3; recommended 2/3; do not exceed MAX.

1. Locate pre-filter with water separator and cock underneath.
2. Drain water via cock; water sinks to bottom due to density difference.
3. Close cock after draining.

Tools: engine oil

1. Check oil-level.
2. Pull oil dipstick out of check rail.
3. Open oil filler cap.
4. Fill in oil approx. 1/2 litre; wait about 2 minutes.
5. Wipe oil dipstick and put into check rail.
6. Pull dipstick and check oil-level.
7. If still under 2/3, repeat filling steps.

Tools: spanner size 8 mm

1. Open air suction housing by loosening six screws on housing cover.
2. Change air filter mat.
3. Close suction air housing.

⚠ Generator and coolant can be hot during and after operation.

Tools: open-ended wrench 17 mm, oil filter wrench, container, oil resistant mat, paper towels

1. Warm engine 10 minutes; wait 3 minutes.
2. Assure no accidental start; open casing.
3. Place oil resistant mat and container; release/open oil drain hose.
4. Unscrew oil filling cap.
5. Open oil drain screw with 17 mm wrench; drain oil.
6. Remove oil filter with filter wrench; clean oil screen if EA300.
7. Oil new filter seal; screw in by hand.
8. Refit drain screw with new sealing.
9. Fill engine oil; check level every 2 litres.
10. Run engine 10 minutes; check level.
11. Clean up oil splashes and check drain screw for leaks.

Tools: multigrip pliers

1. Close raw water stop cock.
2. Remove cover of raw water pump by loosening screws.
3. Pull impeller from shaft with multigrip pliers; mark position.
4. Check impeller for damage; replace if necessary.
5. Lubricate impeller with glycerin or non-mineral oil based lubricant.
6. Attach impeller to pump shaft.
7. Fasten cover and use new seal.

Tools: spanner

1. Loosen screw on upper alternator mounting.
2. Loosen screw underneath alternator.
3. Press alternator toward thermostat housing.
4. Exchange V-belt.
5. Tighten V-belt so it can be pressed about 10 mm.
6. Tighten screws above and underneath alternator.

⚠ The ventilation screw above the cooling water pump casing may not be opened while the generator is running.

Tools: spanner size 10 mm

1. Switch off generator before opening vent points.
2. Ensure external expansion tank is connected and at sufficient height.
3. Open vent screw above cooling water pump casing if present.
4. Open vent screw on thermostat casing.
5. Pour cooling water into filling necks or external expansion tank.
