BOLIY Pro 3600 SI/E maintenance

Question

I bought one of these 4-5 years ago and other than batteries going dead for the electric starter, it has performed very well. The owner's manual has a periodic maintenance chart and under Engine Oil, it just says to check it daily, no mention of drain and change interval. There's also a place that tells you how to change the oil but not how often. This generator has only been run maybe 12-15 hours, the oil appears clean but I don't want to neglect any maintenance that should be done.
Any recommendations?

Other small generators suggest first oil change after 20 hours. I would change it at least once per year.

The Boliy uses a Yamaha engine if I remember correctly.

Oil change every 50 hours (10 to 20 hours first time), or once per year.

Thanks. I figured once a year would be recommended and I've gone way past that.
It won't be used much since we prefer full hook up these days, but since I have all the covers off, I'll do it now while I'm replacing the battery.
Appreciate the response.

Check out the service manual on page 11 for the maintenance schedule.

Boon Docker  -  thanks for the link. My owners manual is not anything like what you sent. I'll print it up and keep it with my other paperwork.

Yes, the owners manual does leave a lot to be desired when it comes to scheduled maintenance.
