Post Maintenance Checks; Performing Fuel System Leak Test - Generac Power Systems PWRgenerator 9 kW Owner's Manual

Maintenance
3. See Figure 4-5. Unscrew and remove cap (A).
Figure 4-5. Cleaning the Sediment Trap
4. Use a clean-out tool (not provided) to remove
accumulated moisture and particles from cap and
body (B).
5. Wipe inside of each component with a clean, dry,
lint-free cloth.
6. Seal threads of cap with appropriate sealing com-
pound. Install cap and hand-tighten.
7. Tighten cap with an appropriately sized pipe
wrench. DO NOT overtighten.
8. Turn generator fuel supply ON. Inspect for leaks by
spraying all connection points with a non-corrosive
gas leak detection fluid. The solution should not be
blown away or form bubbles.
9. Install intake side panel.

Post Maintenance Checks

1. Perform required maintenance procedure(s).
2. Install 15A fuse in converter, if removed.
3. Install intake side panel and front panel if removed.
(See Intake Side Panel Removal
Access Panel Removal.)
4. Install 7.5A fuse in control panel.
5. Complete Install Wizard information.
6. Press AUTO button on control panel.
7. Set generator MLCB (generator disconnect) to ON
(CLOSED).
The system is now in AUTO.

Performing Fuel System Leak Test

Explosion and fire. Fuel and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. No leakage of fuel is

permitted. Keep fire and spark away. Failure to do
so will result in death or serious injury.
All products are factory-tested before shipping to verify
the performance and integrity of the fuel system. How-
A
ever, it is important to perform a final fuel system leak test
before starting the generator. The entire fuel system
should be tested from supply to fuel solenoid valve.

See Figure
after generator installation. The test will identify possible
leaks at all connection points (A).
It is best practice to perform a fuel system leak test
during normally-scheduled maintenance.
