GENERAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely
basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored. NEVER operate a
damaged or defective generator.
Engine Maintenance For further services, kindly please turn to Grannitto Authorized Service Center. CAUTION Avoid
prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil.
Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in
certain laboratory animals. Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON’T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION
CENTERS.
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.
Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves or any other foreign material. NOTE:
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter engine petrol system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots, some of the water will be retained in 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.
Generator Cleaning Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
CAUTION Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life. DO NOT expose generator to
excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors. DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil. Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris. Use
low pressure air (not exceed 1.7 bar/25 psi) to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on generator.
These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed. STORAGE 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 “Generator Cleaning”. Check that cooling air slots and
openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
WARNING
Storage covers can be flammable.
DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator. Let equipment cool for a
sufficient time before placing the cover on the equipment.
Engine Storage Please turn to Grannitto Authorized Service Center for help if there is a need. Other Storage Tips To
prevent gum from forming in petrol system or on essential carburetor parts, add petrol stabilizer into petrol tank and
fill with fresh petrol. Run the unit for several minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor. The unit and
petrol can then be stored for up to 24 months. Petrol stabilizer can be purchased locally.
DO NOT store petrol from
one season to another unless it has been treated as described above. Replace petrol container if it starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in petrol can cause problems if it’s used with this unit. Store unit in a clean and dry area.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug. WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK Use approved spark
plug tester. DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
