Section 4: Maintenance

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will improve perfor-
mance and extend engine/equipment life.
Generac Power Systems, Inc. recommends
that all maintenance work be performed by
an Independent Authorized Service Dealer
(IASD). Regular maintenance, replacement,
or repair of the emissions control devices and
systems may be performed by any repair
shop or person of the owner's choosing. To
obtain emissions control warranty service
free of charge, the work must be performed
by an IASD. See the emissions warranty.

Performing Scheduled
Maintenance
It is important to perform maintenance as
specified in the
generator operation. Engine oil and oil filter
must be changed, and valve clearance
adjusted (where applicable, see Engine) after
first 25 hours of operation.
Emissions-critical maintenance must be per-
formed as scheduled in order for emissions
warranty to be valid. Emissions-critical main-
tenance consists of servicing the air filter and
spark plug(s) in accordance with
Schedule.
Controller will prompt for Schedule A or
Schedule B maintenance to be performed.
Schedule A maintenance consists of oil, oil
filter, and battery check. Schedule B mainte-
nance includes oil, oil filter, battery check, air
cleaner, spark plug(s), and valve clearance
(where applicable, see Engine).
(000191)
Since most maintenance alerts occur at the
same time (most have two year intervals),
only one will appear on control panel display
at a time. Once first alert is cleared, the next
active alert will be displayed.
