How do you locate the oil drain in your craftsman generator?

To locate the oil drain plug in your craftsman generator, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the generator is on flat, level ground.
  2. Turn the generator off and allow it to cool down completely.
  3. Locate the owner's manual for your specific model of Craftsman generator.
  4. Refer to the section of the manual on changing the oil, where there should be instructions and illustrations showing you where the oil drain plug is located. Typically, it is located on the bottom or underside of the generator housing.
  5. Inspect the underside of your Craftsman generator and look for a bolt that is either larger than the rest or has a metal or rubber cap around it.
  6. To verify if it's the oil drain plug, you can check the oil level using the dipstick.

    If removing the plug drains the oil, then you've found the right one.

Remember to have a suitable container ready to collect the drained oil, as it may come out quickly once you remove the plug.
