Cleaning, Maintenance, and

Lubrication Schedule

Note: This maintenance schedule is intended solely as a general guide. If performance decreases or if equip- ment operates unusually, check sys- tems immediately. The maintenance needs of each piece of equipment will differ depending on factors such as duty cycle, temperature, air quality, fuel quality, and other factors.

Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular op- eration of the engine and equipment.

After Initial 20 Operation Hour Period:

a. Change engine oil.

Every 50 Operation Hours:

a. Replace fuel filter.

Every 100 Operation Hours:

a. Change engine oil (or with frequent use; every three months).

Note: All maintenance procedures sched- uled for 25, 50, and 100 operation hours should be performed at least yearly.

a.Wait for engine to cool.

b.Disconnect battery.

c.Drain fuel tank.

d.Change engine oil.

3.Cover and store in a dry, well-ventilat- ed area out of reach of children.

Diesel Fuel and Microbes

1.Microbes can grow in Diesel fuel and can, over time, interfere with the Gen- erator’s performance. When perfor- mance begins to suffer and the en- gine begins to produce black smoke, a high-quality biocide must be added to the fuel to kill the microbes. If left untreated the microbes will eventually clog the fuel lines and ruin the equip- ment. The biocide must continue

to be added to the fuel until the mi- crobes are completely destroyed and the fuel runs pure again.
