VI: Generator Care & Maintenance
A Cummins Onan RV generator is an investment that can bring you many years of
comfort and enjoyment. However, all generators require periodic maintenance for
dependable, ongoing performance. Your Operator’s Manual outlines the specifi c
maintenance procedures and service intervals for your particular model. Take good
care of your generator and it will take good care of you.
RV maintenance is performed according to the number of miles you travel. Similarly,
generator maintenance is based on hours of running time. If your generator does
not come equipped with an hour meter, install one, and place it in an easy-to-see
location near the RV’s electrical control panel so you can keep track of the hours
your generator runs. The Cummins Onan deluxe remote control panel includes an
hour meter. The following chart shows the recommended maintenance intervals
for Cummins Onan generators. These are general guidelines only. Consult the
Operator’s Manual for procedures and maintenance intervals for a specifi c model.
If you are unable to locate your Operator’s Manual, many can be viewed online or
purchased at Funroads.com.
• Maintenance charts are printed in all Operator’s Manuals.
• Check your generator exhaust system each time you start the generator.
Make sure it doesn’t leak and that it extends beyond the vehicle’s perimeter.
• Refer to manual for service intervals for injectors and valve adjustments that
typically are recommended at 500-1,000 hours.
