Section 4 — Maintenance

Guardian Liquid-cooled 15 kW, 20 kW and 25 kW Generators

If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is switched

!too soon, the engine may start. If engine does start, it will shut down automatically in about two (2) minutes.

•Set the generator main circuit breaker to its ON or CLOSED position.

Refer to applicable wiring diagram(s) and electrical schematic(s) at back of manual for wiring connec- tions. Customer supplies a 120V 15A Utility fed cir- cuit for the block heater.

4.1MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITIES

•Generator is now programmed to start and exer- cise every seven days thereafter, on day and time of day the switch was actuated.

•Place a sign on the generator control panel and the transfer switch, indicating the day and time the generator will be exercising.

NOTE:

If battery terminals are disconnected, the exercise timer needs to be reset for correct automatic exer- cise operation.

Figure 3.2 - “Set Exercise” Switch

A. EVERY THREE MONTHS

1.Check battery state of charge and condition. 2.Inspect and test fuel system.

3.Check transfer switch. 4.Inspect exhaust system. 5.Check engine ignition system. 6.Check fan belts.

B. ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS

1.Test Engine Safety Devices (low oil pressure, low coolant level, high coolant temperature).

3.6ENGINE HEATER

This standby generator comes equipped with a block heater (Figure 3.3), similar to the block heaters used in automotive applications. The block heater is wired to a grounded plug.

C. ONCE ANNUALLY

1.Test engine governor. Adjust or repair, if needed. 2.Clean, inspect generator.

3.Flush cooling system.

D. FIRST 100 OPERATING HOURS

1.Change engine oil and oil filter. (After initial change, service engine oil and filter at 150 oper- ating hours or six months, whichever comes first.)

2.Retorque cylinder head. (See Torque Specs, Section 1.13.)

3.Retorque intake and exhaust manifold. (See Torque Specs, Section 1.13.)

E. EVERY 500 OPERATING HOURS

1.Service air cleaner. 2.Check starter.

3.Check engine DC alternator.

F. EVERY 800 OPERATING HOURS

1.Retorque cylinder head. (See Torque Specs, Section 1.13.)

2.Retorque intake and exhaust manifold. (See Torque Specs, Section 1.13.)

3.Check engine compression. 4.Check valve clearance.

Generac is renowned for its innovation in the power generation industry, and their range of generators—including models 0047210, 0047220, 0047230, 0047240, 0047250, 0047251, 0047252, 0047253, and 0047260—showcase advanced technologies and functionality that meet diverse power needs.

One of the standout features of these models is the use of Generac’s G-Force Engine, specifically designed for reliability and longevity. This engine is notorious for its durability, capable of handling demanding workloads and proving to be more efficient than typical engines found in similar generators. It provides quick start times, lower emissions, and is built to withstand extended operational cycles.

Another notable technology in these models is the Quiet-Test™ mode, which enables the generator to run at a lower RPM while it performs an exercise routine. This feature not only reduces noise during operation but also conserves fuel, making it an eco-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on performance.

The generators are equipped with advanced monitoring and control features, including the Mobile Link™ application compatibility. This allows users to monitor the status of their generator remotely via a smartphone or tablet, offering peace of mind and real-time access to the generator's operational functioning. This connectivity also enables the user to receive alerts and notifications about maintenance needs or when the generator is in need of attention.

In terms of design, these models boast a robust steel enclosure that offers superior protection against the elements, thereby enhancing durability and ensuring efficient operation regardless of weather conditions. The enclosures also come with a weather-resistant finish, making them suitable for outdoor installation.

Moreover, the generators feature a well-thought-out installation process with easily accessible controls and noise-reduction technology, which helps minimize disturbances for residential applications. They also offer multiple power outputs, catering to varied energy needs, from essential home appliances to larger devices.

Safety is a core consideration with Generac models, and features such as the automatic shutdown mechanism prevent overheating, ensuring operational safety during use. Coupled with an efficient fuel consumption rate, these generators stand out as impeccable solutions for power backup in homes and businesses alike.

The series exemplifies Generac’s commitment to excellence in power solutions, integrating user-friendly technology, efficient performance, and top-tier safety into compact, durable designs. Users can rely on models 0047210 to 0047260 for dependable power generation tailored to their specific needs.
