All service and adjustments should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule chart.
Test System Operation mulate a Power Outage) REPRODWhenUCTall engine IONvicing is complete, replace 15 Amp fuse
in control panel and reset the exercise timer. See Setting Exercise Time in Operatio .
Regular maintenan will improve the performance and
ext nd life of the generator. See any authorized dealer for
NOT ervice.
NOTICE Once a year you should replace the spark plugs and FOR air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper
fue-air mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control devices and systems may be performed by any non- road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain “no charge” emissions control service, the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emission Warranty.
Maintenance Schedule
Follow the hourly or calendar intervals of operation, whichever occurs first.
First 5 Hours
Change Engine Oil
Every 8 Hours or Daily
Clean Debris
Check Engine Oil Level
Every 100 Hours or Annually
Change Air Filter
Change Engine Oil and Filter
Replace Spark Plugs
Check Valve Clearance
Annually
Clean Air Cooling System
Check Fuel System
Check Exhaust System

High Temperature (FC_7)

This fault is indicated by fault code FC_7 and seven blinks on the remote LED indicator. The contacts of the temperature switch are normally open. If the engine temperature exceeds approximately 149°C (300°F), the fault is detected and the engine shuts down.

Common causes for this condition include running the unit with access doors removed, obstructed air inlet or exhaust port, low oil level, or debris in the engine cylinder cooling fins.

To resolve the problem, let the engine cool down and remove any accumulated debris and obstructions. Ensure that all access doors are installed whenever the unit is running.

Transfer Switch Fault (FC_8)

This fault is indicated by fault code FC_8 and eight blinks on the remote LED indicator (if transfer switch is equipped with fault detection).

The most likely cause of this fault is a blown fuse in the transfer switch. To remedy the problem, contact your installer or an authorized dealer.
