The generator’s warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the
generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart.
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean. Operate the unit in an environment where it will
not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any
corrosive vapors. Cooling air louvers on the enclosure
must not become clogged with snow, leaves, or any other
foreign material. To prevent generator damage caused by
overheating, keep the enclosure cooling inlets and outlets
clean and unobstructed at all times.
Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible
on its exterior/interior surface. Inspect the air inlet and outlet
openings inside and outside the enclosure to ensure air flow
is not blocked.
DO NOT use direct spray from a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter the engine and generator and
cause problems.
