MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INSPECTION
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for
fuel, oil, and coolant leaks. Use Table 10 as a general
maintenance guideline
Engine Side
(Refer to the Engine
Instruction Manual).
AIR CLEANER
Every 100 hours: Remove air cleaner element (Figure 39)
and clean the heavy duty paper element with light spray of
compressed air. Replace the air cleaner as needed.
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator
This indicator (Figure 39) is attached to the air cleaner.
When the air cleaner element is clogged, air intake
restriction becomes greater and the dust indicator signal
shows
RED
meaning the element needs changing or
service. After changing the air element, press the dust
indicator button to reset the indicator.

NOTICE
Before inspecting generator, check that the ignition/
start switch is in the STOP position, and place all circuit
breakers in the OFF position. Allow sufficient time for
adequate cooling. When ready to restart, complete all
steps in the Generator Startup Procedure section of
this manual.
NOTICE
The air filter should not be changed until the indicator
reads
“RED”
. Dispose of old air filter. It may not be
cleaned or reused..
If the engine is operating in very
dusty
or
dry grass
conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result. This can lead to
a loss of power, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion
chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner
more
frequently
if these conditions exist.
FUEL ADDITION
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations).
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel tank
for water contamination and drain the contents if required.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.
Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank
Drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely. Using a spray
washer (Figure 40) wash out any deposits or debris that
have accumulated inside the fuel tank.
