At least twice a month, but you should allow the generator to rest a bit, is the noise not affecting you?

tutudesz:

Learn how to change the oil, clean the carburetor and clean the plugs yourself.

cescky:


I bought this gen some years back.... Around jibowu area.. My brother i used this gen for years, i swear i didn't change oil, lol..

Not advising the above... Yes for years i didn't change oil, the day i changed oil, gen started giving small small issues, perhaps na local oil changer i use or something...

In conclusion if you're changing oil, mind who and what oil you use, secondly you bought a very solid gen... Infact mine is still alive.. Should be close to 10 years now. Though its packed somewhere, since am not around

Holla911:
As soon as you notice change in its sound. I will advice you change every month due to its heavy usage.

Poleski:


Change oil every month and change plug (original one) once a year, some can serve more. And don't overload it.

deavicky:
This gen looks one of my gen they stole in warri

Paxxcarl:
There should be an oil indicator if the oil is to be changed

jmoore:
Read your manual!!



1. When you buy brandnew generator, change the oil after the first month or after 20 hours. Whichever comes first.



2. Then change after 6 months or 100 hours whichever comes first.

Since you said it's 12 hours. That means you should change your oil after 8-9 days.




Note: Make sure you check the level of your oil before starting to avoid the engine damage.

Sumec Firman Generators?

Hope it's not just name that they have! How capable are their generators because me I have had my fair share of frustration from generators. Even one of my childhood memories includes seeing my dad being frustrated by our then generator - although not Sumec product. I want to get a generator that can carry a fridge and 1.5hp inverter AC. And I want know if Sumec Firman Generators can really deliver in terms of maintenance and durability. Which particular one should I go for?

DaveHert:

Hello,

Trying to make a choice between Firman SPG2200 and ECO 1990s (both 1.8kva).

Any advice on a preference.
Major expected load is the water pumping machine (1.5hp) and a kitchen freezer though usually don't turn both on same time.
