MAINTENANCE

The Importance of Maintenance

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help
reduce air pollution.
WARNING: Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem, can cause a malfunction in which
you can be seriously injured or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance
recommendations and schedules in this owner's manual.
To help you properly care for your generator, the following pages include a maintenance
schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures, using basic
hand tools. Other service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled
by professionals and are normally performed by a qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your
generator under severe conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation,
or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
Maintenance, replacement, or repairs of the emission control devices and systems may
be performed by any engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are
"certified" to EPA standards.
