This manual contains only very minimal engine maintenance instructions. You should refer to
the engine manufacturer's owner's manual for specific maintenance instructions for the engine
on your generator set. Any maintenance instructions or recommendations in the engine owner's
manual take precedence over any of the following general recommendations.
1. Clean and/or replace any fuel, oil, and/or air filters per the engine manufacturers'
guidelines.
2. Check oil level regularly; at least every 5 to 8 hours of operation. Be sure the proper oil
level is maintained.
3. Change the oil as is recommended in the engine manufacturer's owner's manual.
4. Replace the spark plug(s) as is recommended by the engine manufacturer (if applicable to
the engine).
5. Clean the cooling fins on the engine to keep the engine's heat dissipation potential at it's
maximum.
6. Inspect and clean all governor and carburetor linkages and make sure they operate
properly.
7. Inspect the recoil rope for any damage and replace it if necessary (if applicable).
8. Clean the trash screen around the recoil or other cooling air intake.
