PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
A periodic program of scheduled maintenance should
be established and maintained. Such a program,
if adhered to diligently, provides added assurance
that the power system functions properly when it is
needed.
Keeping a "Maintenance Log" is highly recommended.
Such a log should be a continuous record of repairs,
parts replacements, gauge and instrument readings
during operational tests, etc.
The manufacturer recommends that a "Customer
Maintenance Inspection Agreement" be established
between the user of this equipment and the install-
ing Authorized Service Dealer. Under this agreement,
(Part No. 053263), an Authorized Service Technician
performs prestart and engine running tests and
checks at six-month and one-year intervals. Ask an
Authorized Service Dealer about this agreement.
The tasks listed in the "Service Schedule" sec-
tion cover the minimum recommended maintenance
requirements for this equipment.
