Maintenance Tips
-
Run regular exercise cycles: Program weekly auto startup/exercise to keep internal parts lubricated and ensure reliable start during outages.
-
Change fluids & filters per schedule: Replace engine oil, coolant, oil filter, and air filter at manufacturer‑recommended intervals to protect the liquid‑cooled 6.2 L engine and prevent wear.
-
Inspect coolant system: Keep radiator and hoses clean and clear of debris; check for leaks to prevent overheating.
-
Maintain battery health: Ensure the starting battery stays fully charged and terminals clean—critical for automatic starts.
-
Check fuel lines & connections: Inspect natural gas/propane fuel supply lines for leaks and proper fittings to avoid performance issues.
-
Monitor exhaust & ventilation: Keep exhaust pathways unobstructed and clear area around the generator to avoid buildup and ensure airflow.
-
Tighten electrical connections: Periodically inspect controllers, transfer switch interface, and wiring for firmness and corrosion.
-
Keep area clean & dry: Minimize dust, moisture, and pests around the unit to protect enclosure components and wiring.
