General Recommendations

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the generator. See any authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for service.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your generator.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule chart above.
