The periodic maintenance procedures should be performed at whichever interval
occurs first (calendar time or hours of operation). At each scheduled maintenance
interval, perform all previous maintenance checks that are due for scheduled
maintenance.
Some of the factors that can affect the maintenance schedule are:
Extremes in ambient temperature
Exposure to elements
Exposure to salt water
Exposure to windblown dust or sand
Consult with an authorized dealer if the generator set will be subjected to any
extreme operating conditions and determine if extra protection or a reduction in
service intervals is needed. Use the running time meter to keep an accurate log of
all service performed for warranty support. Perform all service at the time period
indicated, or after the number of operating hours indicated, whichever comes first.
Repair or replace worn, damaged, or improperly functioning components identified
during periodic maintenance procedures.
Periodic Maintenance Guidelines
Regularly performing the following periodic maintenance tasks greatly reduces the
chances of a generator set shutdown:
Maintain an appropriate oil level.
Keep battery connections clean and tight.
Do not overload the generator set.
Keep the air inlet and outlet openings clear.
NOTICE
Perform maintenance tasks as specified using the period of operation that
occurs first.
