Section 2 Scheduled Maintenance
Accidental starting.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the battery cables before
working
on the generator set.
Remove the negative (--) lead first
when
disconnecting the battery.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last
when reconnecting the battery.
WARNING
Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can
cause severe injury or death. Before working on the
generator set or equipment connected to the set, disable the
generator set as follows: (1) Place the generator set start/stop
switch in the STOP position. (2) Disconnect the power to the
battery charger, if equipped. (3) Remove the battery cables,
negative (--) lead first. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last
when reconnecting the battery. Follow these precautions to
prevent the starting of the generator set by the remote
start/stop switch.
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Only authorized personnel should
open the enclosure.
(600 volts and under)
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
Moving rotor.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death.
Electrocution is possible
whenever electricity is present. Open the main circuit
breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment.
Configure the installation to electrically ground the generator
set and related equipment and electrical circuits to comply with
applicable codes and standards. Never contact electrical
leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground
because these conditions increase the risk of electrocution.
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death.
Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check
the LP vapor gas or natural gas fuel system for leakage by
using a soap and water solution with the fuel system test
pressurized to 6--8 ounces per square inch (10--14 inches
water column). Do not use a soap solution containing either
ammonia or chlorine because both prevent bubble formation.
A successful test depends on the ability of the solution to
bubble.
2.1 Routine Maintenance
Refer to the service schedule in the operation manual
and the hourmeter located on the generator set to

on each item in the service schedule at the designated
interval for the life of the generator set. Service units
subject to extreme weather, long operating hours, or
dusty or dirty conditions more frequently.
Refer to the operation manual for detailed maintenance
information.
2.2 Service Schedule
Perform the service listed in Figure 2-1 at the
