Owner’s Manual for Portable Generator
Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will improve perfor-
mance and extend engine/equipment life.
Generac Power Systems, Inc. recommends
that all maintenance work be performed by an
Independent Authorized Service Dealer
(IASD). Regular maintenance, replacement,
or repair of the emissions control devices and
systems may be performed by any repair shop
or person of the owner’s choosing. To obtain
emissions control warranty service free of
charge, the work must be performed by an
IASD. See the emissions warranty.
NOTE:
Call 1-888-GENERAC (1-888-436-
3722) with questions about component
replacement.
Maintenance Schedule
Follow maintenance schedule intervals,
whichever occurs first according to use.
NOTE:
Adverse conditions will require more
frequent service.
NOTE:
All required service and adjustments
should be each season as detailed in the fol-
lowing chart.
Preventive Maintenance
Dirt or debris can cause improper operation
and equipment damage. Clean generator
daily or before each use. Keep area around
and behind muffler free from combustible
debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on
generator.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces
clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi [172
kPa]) may be used to blow away dirt.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on
generator. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
NOTE:
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter engine fuel system
and cause problems. If water enters generator
through cooling air slots, some water will be
retained in voids and crevices of rotor and sta-
tor winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup
on generator internal windings will decrease
insulation resistance of windings.
Engine Maintenance
