The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems before resuming generator set operation.

Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check the LP vapor gas or natural gas fuel system for leakage by using a soap and water solution with the fuel system test pressurized to 6--8 ounces per square inch (10--14 inches water column). Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or chlorine because both prevent bubble formation. A successful test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.

LP liquid withdrawal fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check the LP liquid withdrawal gas fuel system for leakage by using a soap and water solution with the fuel system test pressurized to at least 90 psi (621 kPa). Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or chlorine because both prevent bubble formation. A successful test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.

See the Safety Precautions and Instructions at the beginning of this manual before attempting to service, repair, or operate the generator set. Have an authorized distributor/dealer perform generator set service.

Routine Maintenance. Refer to the following generator set service schedule, the engine service schedule, and the runtime hours displayed on the generator set controller to determine when to schedule routine maintenance. Service the generator set more frequently if it is subject to extreme weather, long operating hours, or dusty or dirty conditions.

Maintenance Reminders. The RDC2 and DC2 controllers display a reminder message every 100 hours of engine run time. Change the oil and perform other maintenance tasks listed on the service schedule. Then reset the reminder. See Section 5.2.5 for instructions to reset the maintenance reminder.

Service Schedule. Perform maintenance on each item in the service schedule at the designated interval for the life of the generator set.

Tools. Tools and instruments used to perform some maintenance items are not generally available to the generator set owner. Therefore, have service performed by an authorized distributor/dealer.

5.1 Scheduled Maintenance

Refer to the following service schedules and the runtime hours displayed on the controller display to schedule routine maintenance. Intervals are shown in hours of operation and/or time intervals (i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) Have an authorized distributor/dealer service the generator set at the designated intervals in the service schedule for the life of the generator set. Service units subject to extreme weather, long operating hours, or dusty or dirty conditions more frequently.

Contact an authorized distributor/dealer for parts.
