Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean.
Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not become
clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material. To
prevent generator damage caused by overheating, keep the
enclosure cooling inlets and outlets clean and unobstructed
at all times. Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible
on its exterior/interior surface. Inspect the air inlet and outlet
openings inside and outside the enclosure to ensure air flow
is not blocked.
DO NOT use direct spray from a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter the engine and generator and
cause problems.
Generator Maintenance
Cleaning the Generator
1. Turn the generator off.
2. Remove control board fuse from control board.
3. Clean generator as desired.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft, bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on
the generator. These openings must be kept clean
and unobstructed.
4. Reinstall control board fuse in control board.
5. Turn the generator on and place in AUTO mode.
NOTICE 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.
Engine Maintenance
The maintenance of an engine and related components are
critical to its operating performance and lifespan. Industrial
engines operate in an environment that often include hot
and cold temperatures and extreme dust. The recommended
maintenance schedule is listed in this section, however,
environmental operating conditions and additional installed
equipment may require more frequent inspection and
servicing. The owner and/or authorized service technician should
review the operating conditions of the equipment to
determine the inspection and maintenance intervals. Proper
engine cooling and lubrication are very important, so pay
particular attention to these matters.
The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for
system operation in a wide range of temperature and
climate conditions.
Engine Oil
Synthetic Oils
Synthetic oils have been available for use in industrial
engines for a relatively long period of time and may offer
advantages in cold and hot temperatures. However, it is not
known if synthetic oils provided operational or economic
benefits over conventional petroleum-based oils in industrial
engines.
Use of synthetic oils does not permit the extension of oil
change intervals.
