Generac Portable Products SE10000 Generator

GENERAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored.

Never operate a damaged or defective generator.

Engine Maintenance

See your engine owner’s manual for instructions.

Generator Maintenance

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Make sure the cooling air slots in the generator do not become clogged with leaves or other foreign material.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter the engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water enters the generator through the cooling air slots, some water will be retained in the voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

To Clean the Generator

Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt or oil.

A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and debris.

Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on generator. These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.

STORAGE

The generator should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must store the unit for

more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Generator Storage

Clean the generator as outlined in “To Clean the Generator.”

Check that the cooling air slots and openings on the generator are open and unobstructed.

Remove the negative battery cable from the battery to prevent the battery from being depleted.

DANGER! The battery is water based. If you are storing the generator in an area that will go below freezing, you must remove the battery and store it separately in an area that will not freeze. If you allow the battery to freeze, the water in it will expand and crack open the battery spilling the contents.

Prepare the engine in accordance with the storage instructions in the engine owner manual.

Let the unit completely cool for at least 5 minutes before placing any cover over the unit.

Store the unit in a clean dry place.

Other Storage Tips

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in a gasoline can cause problems when you use that fuel with this unit.

Store in clean and dry area.
