GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that
all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on atimely
basis;that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit
is kept clean and properly stored. NEVER operate a
damaged or defective generator.
Engine Maintenance
See engineowner's manualfor instructions.
Maintenance Minder
The maintenance minder displaysand records how many
hours your generator has run (up to 9,999.9). It also alerts
you when to change your oil and to service your air filter.
The message"CHG OIL" will flash after the first 20 hours
of unit operation.This isto remind you to replace the
'break-in' oil with regular duty oiLThe same messagewill
againflash after intervalsof 100 hours.The maintenance
reminder does not sensethat the oil change has occurred -
it merely flashes the messagefor a two hour period to
permit you to observe the reminder.
Similarly,the message"SVC AIR FILTER" willflash after
intervalsof 50 hours to remind you to service or change
the air filter element
_ii CAUTION!When working on the generator,

Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a dean dry
environment where it w{{{ not be exposed to excessive
dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air
slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,
leaves or any other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to dean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots,
some of the water wilt be retained in voids and cracks of
the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water and dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
To Clean the Generator
_ii AUTION! NEVER insert any object or tool
through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is
not running.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• A soft bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt
or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow awaydirt. Inspectcooting air slots and opening on
generator.These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
