Maintenance Tips
- Change the Oil: Replace the engine oil every 20-50 hours of use, or as recommended in the manual, using the proper oil type for optimal engine performance.
- Clean or Replace the Air Filter: Regularly inspect the air filter for dirt or debris. Clean or replace it to prevent engine damage and maintain efficiency.
- Maintain Fuel System: If using gasoline, empty the fuel tank if the generator won’t be used for extended periods, and use a fuel stabilizer to prevent gasoline degradation. For propane, ensure the tank is properly secured and the connections are leak-free.
- Inspect and Clean the Spark Plug: Check the spark plug for buildup or damage. Clean or replace it regularly to ensure reliable starting and smooth engine operation.
- Test the Battery: For models with electric start, periodically check the battery charge and top it off as necessary to ensure it’s ready to go when needed.
- Check the Exhaust System: Inspect the exhaust system for any blockages, rust, or leaks. Clean and maintain it to avoid carbon buildup and to ensure efficient exhaust ventilation.
- Inspect and Tighten Connections: Check fuel and oil connections for leaks, and ensure that bolts, nuts, and fasteners are tight to prevent any loose parts during operation.
- Monitor CO Alert System: Regularly check the CO Alert system to ensure it is functioning correctly. Replace batteries if necessary and keep the sensors clean to guarantee the safety feature works.
- Clean the Generator: After use, clean the generator to remove dirt and debris, especially around the engine, vents, and cooling areas. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
- Test Run Monthly: Run the generator at least once a month for 10-15 minutes to keep the engine and systems in good working order.
