On a new Generator change the Oil after the first 20 hours. Reference the Hour Meter at the Start/Stop Switch.
Change the Oil and Air Filter every 150 hrs thereafter. The MicroQuite holds 1.6 qts of Oil. The Oil Drain is in the middle, on the bottom side. Above freezing, 30 weight oil is recommended. There is not an Oil Filter on the MicroQuite.
Spark arrester or muffler. Clean every 50 hours. Remove 2 plugs, start engine and run for 5 min. and any debris will be blown out. Replace the plugs once it's cooled down.
Replace the Spark Plug, Fuel Filter every 450 hrs. In an emergency, use a dime to check the spark plug gap.
Adjust Valve Lash and Clean or Replace Cylinder Head every 450 hrs, by an Onan service center.
The Onan 4000 MicroQuite has no Oil Filter. It uses an 1/8 of an ounce of oil per hour as part of the cooling process, so check the oil at least every 8 hours.
There is an altitude adjustment on the Carburetor. Power from the Generator decreases as altitude increases. It maybe necessary to run fewer appliances (at the same time) at higher altitudes.
There is NOT a Low Oil Shut off or a High Temp. Shut Off, unless you know for a fact these features are on your unit.

First service my YTH 2448

First service is engine oil change and oil filter if fitted, air filter change, in line fuel filter change, check sharpen blades, re tighten all externall nuts and bolts, no need to change the fluid in the hydro unit, just check for any external leaks, allow a couple of hours to do this.

What does the hour meter on my mower actually tell me? It is flashing between hours of usage and chg oil. I changed oil and filter about four running hours ago. I cut grass for a few hours and then...

Hi, the meter flashes oil change when they are due(at pre-programed intervals) and will stop flashing two running hours after flashing starts. The hours that are showing are total running hours from new. Hope this helps, regards Phil.

How do you change the oil on a 2009 Yamaha TTR 125?

hi,
There is not much oil capacity in a ttr125, maybe one quart. Most people will change it every weekend depending on how much running time. You may want to but an hour meter. On ebay they do not cost much. With such a small amount of oil and you probably run the heck out it, I would use a synthetic motorcyle oil with a JASO MA rating (Look at Motul oils). The interval of change can be extended. With Petroleum maybe every 5 hour, with synthetic maybe every 10 of running time. Oil is cheap you cannot change it too much. Also there is no filter to change, there is a screen insidethe motor that filters out the junk so changing it regulary is important.
Hope this helps

Do I need a mechnic for changing oil in my chevi

No. The oil is very easy to change. All you need is a filter wrench and a 15 mm. socket, and a drain pan. Get under the truck and the oil filter is right there and the drain plug is in the oil pan. Drain the oil first, then remove the oil filter with the filter wrench. Take your finger and dip it in the oil and put a film of oil on the new oil filter gasket. Then install the new oil filter. Once you install the new oil filter, put the drain plug back in. Then put 5 quarts of new oil in the oil fill.

Changing oil in Biggs and Stratton engine

Use 10W30 weight oil. The capacity is 1.5 Quarts (48 ounces) with filter change. I highly recommend you use 100% synthetic oil in an air cooled engine. Change the oil and filter every 50 hours of use.

Ch6 Oil code

Hello, W/D here.

What you are actually getting is Chg Oil (change oil). This is preprogrammed in, as a reminder for you to service the engine. It will go back to the hour meter mode after about 1 hour of additional runtime. If you have changed your oil and filter, there is nothing else to do. The oil and filter need to be changed regularly. If the oil breaks down in your engine, it will lose it's lubricating properties and the engine will seize up.

Best regards, --W/D--

Oil leak behind oil filter

you probably have the old gaskket still on the filter or the filter receptacle. Remove the filter and check to see if the gasket is on the filter. Then check where you screw it on there may be the other gasket stuck to that.
