FILTER REMOVAL AND OIL DRAIN
1. Ensure generator set is fully stopped, ENGINE CONTROL switch is OFF/RESET, Battery Disconnect Switch
is OFF, and DEAD CRANK SWITCH is OFF before proceeding.
CAUTION
Do not drain oil when engine is cold. When engine is cold, oil contaminants are not suspended in
the oil and will not be removed during the draining process. This will allow contaminants to remain
in oil and will cause equipment damage.
2. Allow engine to cool for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Open right front doors and left front door.
NOTE
Engine oil system capacity is 38 quarts (36 liters).
4. Place suitable container under oil drain on lower front left side of TQG, near slave receptacle.
5. Remove plug (Figure 1, Item 1) from oil drain.
6. Open oil drain valve (Figure 1, Item 2) at lower right side of oil pan and allow oil to drain from system.

8. On right side of engine, opposite drain valve, remove magnetic plug (Figure 1, Item 4) and seal (Figure 1,
Item 5) from oil pan. Check magnetic plug for metal particles. Wipe off magnetic plug.
NOTE
If metal particles are found on the magnetic plug, notify supervisor.
