Oil Drain door

WARNING

Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

Each Home Generator System is equipped with two identical keys. These keys fit the locks that secure the access doors.

To Open an Access Door:

You may also lift the unit using a “hook and hoist” method attached to the lifting pipes, provided that you use a spreader bar to ensure that the chains or cables do not touch the generator’s roof.
