MAINTENANCE
Use the Maintenance Schedule to keep your generator in the best operating condition. Maintenance includes
checking the condition of a part used in the generator, as well as cleaning, adjusting, or replacing a part. The oil
should be changed after the first 4 to 6 hours of operation to remove any manufacturing debris or contamination.
▲ Use genuine POWERHOUSE® parts or the equivalent.
▲ The use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator or void the
warranty. Find a Service Center
When repairing or replacing the components of the emission control system, make sure to use
OEM EPA-compliant components. For details, see APPENDIX A - Emission Control System.
