Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions follow.
However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should perform a
given task.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions
and precautions can cause serious injury or death.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in the
operations manual. Where third party equipment is
incorporated into the generator always refer to their
guides for familiarisation
Safety Precautions
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any
maintenance or repairs. This will eliminate several
potential hazards:
• Read the instructions before you begin, and make
sure you have the tools and skills required.
Maintenance Routine
The following procedures refer to the common
maintenance items for servicing your generator.
Check and Replenish Fuel
Refer to Pre-Operational Checks to check the fuel
level.
Replace the fuel lter every 6months or 400hrs.
Drain and ush the fuel tank periodically to prevent
the build-up of contaminants, particularly when the
generator has operated in high humidity and dusty
environments.
Check and Replenish Engine Oil
Refer to Pre-Operational Checks to check the engine
oil level and replenish.
Replace the engine oil after the rst 50hrs and
then every 3 months or 200 hours operation. When
changing the oil or topping up, it is recommended to
use oil of grade 10W30.
Drain the oil in the engine while the engine is warm.
Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
Place the generator on a level surface, and place a
suitable container under the generator at the service
access panel side of the generator.
Remove the oil ller cap / dipstick.
Remove the drain grommet in the base of the
generator.
Drain the oil into the suitable container.
Follow HSE recommendations regarding the handling
and disposal of contaminated oil products.
The oil lter element is a washable type, and should
be cleaned at every oil change (3 months/200 hours).
Replace components in reverse order.
Fill with recommended oil to the max level shown on
the dipstick
Battery
The battery is a maintenance free unit and should not
require the electrolyte being topped up.
Check that the positive and negative terminals are
tight and secure, and free from corrosion. Lightly coat
them with petroleum jelly or similar to protect from
corrosion.
Check that the battery securing strap is tight and the
battery is held rmly.
Fuel System
Check the semi-transparent pre-lter daily for signs of
water contamination and replace if necessary.
Change the lter every 6 months or 400hrs.

air lter and the engine is secure and not damaged.
Replace the air lter every 400hrs/6 months.
Check RCD Trip
The earth leakage unit (RCD), if tted, has a self-test
button which can be used to apply a fault and to check
that the unit trips out when the generator is running.
