Press the <EXERCISE> soft key.

 

 

This takes you to the ADV/MATE/AGS/EX (exercise) screen for running a lightly used generator at least one day a month to assure it’s in good working order (see next section).

Generator Exercise

Why you might want it: Exercising a generator prolongs its life and dependability.

Regularly running a generator keeps engine components lubricated, expels excess moisture, charges the starting battery, and helps prevent carbon build-up. Consult your generator owner’s manual to find the manufacturer’s recommendations for appropriate length and frequency of exercise periods and what load to run during the exercise periods.

An Exercise time can be set by choosing a day of the week (Sun – Sat), a start time of day (12AM – 11:59PM), and an exercise period (1 – 240 minutes). The generator will run once a month at this chosen time during the first occurrence of the chosen day.

Sample Generator Exercise Schedule

Day: Saturday

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Exercise Period: 15 minutes

A fifteen minute exercise period with loads running is a good starting point for most generators.
