Once every year, check the power distribution panel. Hit the emergency stop switch on the
panel exterior and then use a Phillips screw driver to open the panel door. Visually check each
breaker and the wiring for discoloration, signs of heating, or broken connections. Close the
panel and reset the emergency stop switch.

Plan on an engine oil change every 5000-7500 miles per the Severe Duty maintenance cycle by
the manufacturer. The onboard Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor System will indicate when exactly a
change is due.

A clogged fuel filter will rob your engine of horsepower and can cause substantial reductions to
the stability of the electrical power coming out of the generator. The truck owner’s manual
indicates that the fuel filter should be changed every 15,000 – 25,000 miles. However, with a
Real Power generator onboard, the hours on the generator count towards usage as well.
Multiply the hour meter reading on the panel by a standard 50 miles/hr and add to the
odometer miles to calculated the total. For example, a new truck with 10,000 miles and 200hrs
on the generator would calculate like this:
10,000 miles + (200 hrs x 50 miles/hr) = 20,000 miles

Follow the same procedure as above to calculate transmission miles for the purposes of
transmission fluid replacement.
