General Maintenance
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety
hazard. In order for equipment to operate safely and
correctly over a long period of time, periodic maintenance
and occasional repairs are necessary. DO NOT perform
routine service unless all electrical components are shut
OFF.
Regular maintenance will improve performance and
extend engine/equipment life. Generac Mobile Products,
LLC recommends all maintenance work be performed by
a GMP ASD.
Preparing for Service
Before servicing the unit, follow the instructions below.
1. Verify the main breaker switch and lamp switches
are OFF.
2. Disconnect shore power from the unit.
3. Disconnected linked units.
4. Attach a "Do Not Start" sign to the control panel.
This will notify everyone that the unit is being
serviced and will reduce the chance of someone
inadvertently trying to start the unit.
Cleaning the Unit
CAUTION
Equipment damage. Never spray water to clean unit.
Do not introduce water into generator widings,
terminals, or fuel system during the cleaning process.
Doing so will result in equipment damage.

washer. Water may enter the cabinet and collect in the
generator windings or other electrical parts, causing
damage.

If the unit is stored outside, check for water inside
the cabinet before each use. If wet, dry the unit
thoroughly before starting.
