Daily Walk-Around Inspection
CAUTION
Equipment Damage. Failure to perform a daily

Perform a walk-around inspection of the unit every day
before starting the unit. Look for conditions that could
hinder performance or safety, such as (but not limited to):
•

General Maintenance
Incorrectly maintained equipment can become a safety
hazard. In order for equipment to operate safely and
correctly over a long period of time, periodic maintenance
and occasional repairs are necessary. DO NOT perform
routine service (oil and filter changes, cleaning, etc.)
unless all electrical components are shut off.
Regular maintenance will improve performance and
extend engine/equipment life. Generac Mobile Products,
LLC recommends that all maintenance work be per-
formed by a GMP ASD. Regular maintenance, replace-
ment, or repair of the emissions control devices and
systems may be performed by any repair shop or person
of the owner's choosing. However, to obtain emissions
control warranty service free of charge, the work must be
performed by a GMP ASD or authorized Mitsubishi
engine dealer depending on the repair. See the emis-
sions warranty.
