MAINTENANCE
Generator Maintenance
For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends all generator service and repairs be
performed by a qualified service center. Normal maintenance, replacement, and / or repair of
emission control devices or systems may be performed by any establishment or individual.
However, all warranty replacements or repairs must be performed by an authorized service
center. To find an authorized service center near you, to make a warranty claim, or for
authorized warranty repair, call 1-877-362-4271 or email cservice@fna-group.com .
It is the responsibility of the owner and/or operator to have all scheduled maintenance
completed before operating the generator. Before servicing or inspecting the generator,
stop the generator, disconnect all electrical devices and battery (if equipped), and allow the
generator and engine to cool down.
NOTE: The Generator Maintenance section refers to all parts of the generator except
engine. Please refer to the engine manual for engine maintenance information.
Engine Maintenance
Refer to the engine manual for all engine maintenance information.
Cleaning
Always clean the generator with the engine off and cool. To clean the generator, first use
an air compressor set at no more than 25 PSI to clear dirt and debris from the generator
surfaces, vents, and cooling slots. Then, wipe the exterior clean with a damp cloth.
Water can damage the generator windings and other components if allowed to enter
through cooling slots or other holes. Damage caused by water intrusion is not covered
under warranty. To avoid damaging the generator, do not use a pressure washer, garden
hose, or any other sources of running water to clean the generator, and never submerge
the generator in any liquids.
CLEANING
Improper engine and generator maintenance and failing to correct problems before
operation could void the warranty and may result in property damage and injury. To
prevent these hazards, follow the maintenance procedures and timelines listed in this
manual and any other manual that came with this product.
