Maintenance

NOTE: Proper maintenance and proper and safe operation is crucial to the life of the generator. Genuine Generac parts MUST be used 
to ensure warranty coverage.

NOTE: Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same time (most have two year intervals), only one will appear on the Control 
Panel display at any one time. Once the first alert is cleared, the next active alert will be displayed.

All service to this generator must be performed by a qualified service person only.

4.1 — Performing Scheduled Maintenance

t is important to perform Maintenance as specified in the Service Schedule for proper generator operation and to ensure that the generator com-
plies with the applicable emission standards for the duration of its useful life. Service and repairs may be performed by any qualified service per-
son or repair shop. Additionally, emissions critical maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the Emissions Warranty to be valid. 
Emissions critical maintenance consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance with the Service Schedule. The controller will 
prompt for Schedule A or Schedule B maintenance to be performed. Schedule A maintenance consists of the oil, oil filter and tune-up. Schedule 
B maintenance includes the oil, oil filter, tune-up, air cleaner, spark plug(s) and valve clearance.
