Maintenance

Regular maintenance will improve performance and
extend engine/equipment life. Generac Power Systems,

the emissions control devices and systems may be
performed by any repair shop or person of the owner's
choosing. However, to obtain emissions control warranty
service free of charge, the work must be performed by an
IASD. See the emissions warranty.

Performing Scheduled
Maintenance
It is important to perform maintenance as specified in the
Service Schedule
ensure that the generator complies with the applicable
emission standards for the duration of its useful life.
Service and repairs may be performed by any qualified
service person or repair shop.
Engine oil and filter must be changed and valve
clearance adjusted after the first 25 hours of operation.
Additionally, emissions critical maintenance must be
performed as scheduled in order for the Emissions
Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance
consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in
accordance with the Service Schedule.
The controller will prompt for Schedule A or Schedule B
(000182)
maintenance to be performed. Schedule A maintenance
consists of the oil, oil filter and tune-up. Schedule B
maintenance includes the oil, oil filter, tune-up, air
cleaner, spark plug(s) and valve clearance.
Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same
time (most have two year intervals), only one will appear
on the control panel display at any one time. Once the
first alert is cleared, the next active alert will be displayed.
