Section 4: Maintenance
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will improve performance and
extend engine/equipment life. Generac Power Systems,
Inc. recommends all maintenance work be performed by
an IASD.
Preparing for Maintenance
Proceed as follows to prepare for maintenance:
1.
Set mains MLCB to OFF (OPEN).
2.
Lift lid and set generator set MLCB (generator set
disconnect) to OFF (OPEN).
3.
Allow generator set to run and cool down for one
minute with no load (if running during a mains
power outage).
4.
Press OFF button on controller.
5.
Remove 7.5A fuse from control panel.
6.
Remove front panel and intake side panel.
Performing Scheduled Maintenance
It is important to perform maintenance as specified in the
for correct generator set operation.
Engine oil and oil filter must be changed, and valve clear-
ance adjusted after the first 25 hours of operation.
The controller will prompt for Schedule A or Schedule B
maintenance to be performed. Schedule A maintenance
consists of the oil, oil filter, and battery check. Schedule B
maintenance includes the oil, oil filter, battery check, air
cleaner, spark plug(s), and valve clearance.
Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same
time (most have two year intervals), only one will appear
on the control panel display at a time. Once the first alert
is cleared, the next active alert will be displayed.
