MAINTENANCE

Maintenance

Perform the scheduled maintenance procedures as defined by Table 8 and below:

Engine Oil

Every 100 hours: Change engine oil after the first 50 hours of operation and 100 hours thereafter. Always check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe engine damage. Make sure generator is level when checking oil level. The oil level must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown in Figure 8.

1.Remove engine oil drain plug located at the bottom of the generator enclosure (Figure 29) and drain oil from crankcase.For best results drain oil while engine is warm. Reinstall oil drain plug, and add engine oil as specified in Table 5. Crankcase oil capacity is 2.64 qts. (2.5 liters).

2.Screw on new oil filter by hand until seal contacts the fi lter mounting base. Install drain bolt with sealing washer and hand tighten.

NOTICE

When installing the oil filter, coat rubber seal with a small amount of lubricant (motor oil). DO NOT over- tighten cartridge. Hand tighten only.

3.Replace engine oil with recommended type oil as listed in Table 5. For engine oil capacity, see Table 2 (engine specifications). Fill to upper limit as shown in Figure 8.

Engine Air Cleaner

Every 50 hours: The air cleaner employed on the KUBOTA Z482 series engines is a dry type, NEVER apply oil to it. If generator is used in severe dusty areas service air cleaner element more frequently.

1.Release the air cleaner retaining clamps (Figure 31) and remove the air cleaner element.

Oil Filter Cartridge

Every 200 hours: Replace the engine oil filter cartridge after every 200 hours of operation.

1.Clean oil filter mounting base, and coat oil filter seal (Figure 30) with clean engine oil.

2.Wipe the inside of the air cleaner with a clamp cloth and remove all dust and debris that may have accumulated inside air cleaner body.

3.Tap the edge of element lightly to allow heavy dust build-up to fall off.

4.Tap the paper filter element (Figure 31) several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 99 psi (686 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through the filter element from from the inside while turning the element. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers.

5.Replace the filter element once a year or every six cleanings or if it is excessively dirty
