Generac 10000EXL Extended Life Generator
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean
dry environment where it will not be exposed to
excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Make sure the cooling air slots in the generator do not
become clogged with snow, leaves or other foreign
material.
Check cleanliness of the generator frequently and
clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign
substances are visible on its exterior surface.
NOTE: We DO NOT recommend using a garden
hose to clean generator. Water can enter the engine
fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water
enters the generator through the cooling air slots,
some water will be retained in the voids and cracks
of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and
dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will
eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these
windings.

To Clean the Generator_
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on
dirt or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be
used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots
and opening on generator. These openings must
be kept clean and unobstructed.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes.
If this cannot be done and you must store the unit
for more than 30 days, use the following guidelines
to prepare it for storage.

Generator Storage_
• Clean the generator as outlined in "To Clean the
Generator."
• Check that the cooling air slots and openings on
the generator are open and unobstructed.
• Change engine oil.
• Drain fuel and run engine until the fuel system is
empty.
• Remove spark plugs and pour about 1 ounce of
clean engine oil into spark plug holes. Crank engine
over slowly several times, to distribute oil. Install
and tighten spark plugs. Extended
• Store the unit in a clean dry place.
DANGER: Storage covers can be
flammable. Do not place a storage
cover over a hot generator.
Let the unit cool for 5 minutes
before placing cover on the unit

Other Storage Tips_
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in a gasoline can cause problems when
you use that fuel with this unit
• Store in clean and dry area.
