Maintenance
•
Check the oil level daily. Refer to the engine
operator's manual
specification. Make sure that the oil is correct for
special operating conditions such as a change in
season or climate.
• DO NOT start the unit if the engine oil level is
below the add mark on the dipstick.
• Normal operating level is in the cross-hatch
pattern between the full and add markings on
the dipstick.
Perform a daily walk-around inspection; see

* Perform after the initial 50 hours of operation ONLY, then on the regularly scheduled interval as indicated in the table above.
† Generac Mobile Products recommends that oil change intervals on the ECOSpeed engine be extended to 750 hours after initial break-
in. The engine comes from the factory with a larger sump that holds 5.5 quarts (5.2 L) of engine oil. After the initial 50 hour break-in and
oil change, the sump, coupled with the larger oil filter (P/N 10000014392), allows the engine to operate up to 750 hours between
routine oil changes.
Hot, humid or dusty conditions can shorten engine oil service life, regardless of suggested oil change intervals. In extreme conditions,
determine oil life and change intervals through regular oil sampling and analysis.
Always follow the recommendations of the OEM engine manual that was shipped with the unit for specific operating instructions. If further technical
assistance is required, contact Generac Mobile Products Technical Service at 1-800-926-9768.
