Generator Maintenance; Engine Oil - GE LIQUIDE-COOLED HOME Operator's Manual

Generator Maintenance

The generator warranty does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or neglect. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the system
as instructed in the operator's manual.
All adjustments should be made at least once each season.
Follow the requirements in the operator's manual.
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean.
Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not become
clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.
Engine Maintenance
An engine manual was packaged with this system. Refer to
that manual for all engine-related maintenance topics, such
as oil, oil filter, air cleaner, coolant, spark plugs and so forth.

Engine Oil

The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for
system operation in a wide range of temperature and
climate conditions.

Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible
on its exterior/interior surface.
NOTE: DO NOT use direct spray from a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter the engine and generator and
cause problems.
Proper engine cooling and lubrication are very important, so
pay particular attention to these matters.
NOTE: Refer to the engine operator's manual for
recommended oil change intervals.
