MAINTENANCE
South-Tek Systems’ Generators will provide many years of trouble-free operation if the recommended
maintenance is performed thoroughly and regularly. In addition to the procedures given below, the customer
must also perform all maintenance recommended by the manufacturers of the component items employed in
the South-Tek Systems’ Generators. Note that where any component manufacturer specifications are different
from those of South-Tek Systems, the more demanding schedule should be adopted.
**WARNING**
Read and follow all safety procedures given below and in Section 1.2, Safety Information.
9.1
Power Issues
If the generator does not have power, the production and storage of nitrogen will become apparent once the
storage pressure drops.
1.
Check the power cord
2.
Check the fuse located in the fuse block. The fuse block is labeled as fuse block. The fuse is
located interior to the block and is accessed by lifting the tab on the top of the block. It
accepts a ¼” by 1-1/4”, 7 amp, glass time delay fuse. Max voltage of 250VAC.
3.
Has building’s circuit breaker or GFCI tripped? Locate the breaker and reset. If breaker
continues to trip, you may have that circuit overloaded.

Incoming Air Filtration
All units come equipped with a standard filter set that includes a particulate, coalescing, and adsorber filter
(Figure 6). Clean filter elements are important for good system performance. Factory recommendation on
filter change out schedule are as follows:
-
Particulate every 3 months (4x per
year)
-
Coalescing every 6 months (2x per
year)
-
Adsorber every 12 months (1 per
year)
See figures below for illustration of how to remove
