Maintenance Tips
- Change the Oil Regularly: Replace the engine oil every 20-50 hours of use, or as recommended in the user manual. Always use the appropriate oil type for better performance and engine longevity.
- Inspect and Clean the Air Filter: Check the air filter for dirt, dust, and debris. Clean or replace it regularly to maintain proper airflow to the engine, which improves efficiency and prevents damage.
- Maintain the Fuel System: If using gasoline, empty the fuel tank if the generator will be unused for long periods and use a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel breakdown. For propane, ensure the tank is securely attached and leak-free.
- Inspect the Spark Plug: Regularly check the spark plug for dirt or wear. Clean or replace it if necessary to ensure easy starting and smooth engine operation.
- Monitor the Battery: For models with an electric start, check the battery charge regularly, and keep the connections clean and secure. Recharge or replace the battery as needed.
- Check the Exhaust System: Inspect the exhaust for any signs of rust, blockages, or leaks. Clean and maintain the exhaust to ensure proper ventilation and prevent harmful gas buildup.
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure, particularly around the engine, fuel system, and exhaust.
- Test the CO Alert System: Regularly test the CO alert system to ensure it is functioning properly. Clean the sensors and replace the batteries if necessary.
- Clean the Generator: After each use, clean the generator’s exterior, paying special attention to air vents, cooling areas, and dirt buildup to maintain proper airflow.
- Test Run Monthly: Run the generator for 10-15 minutes every month to keep the engine lubricated and ensure that all components remain in working order.
