General Recommendations

The warranty of the generator does not 

cover items that have been subjected to 

operator abuse or negligence. To receive full 

value from the warranty, the operator must 

maintain the generator as instructed in this 

manual. 
Some adjustments will need to be made

periodically to properly maintain the 

generator.

Generator maintenance consists of keeping 

the unit clean and dry. Operate and store 

the unit in a clean dry environment where it 

will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, 

moisture or any corrosive vapours. Cooling 

air slots in the generator must not become 

clogged with debris.

•   Check for any foreign materials while 

changing the engine oil and report to 

repair agent if necessary

•  Check the cleanliness of the generator 

frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, 

moisture or other foreign substances are 

visible on its exterior surface.

CAUTION: Never insert any object or 

tool through the air cooling slots, even 

if the engine is not running.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose 

to clean generator. Water can enter 

the engine fuel system and cause 

problems. In addition, if water enters 

the generator though cooling air slots, 

some water will be retained in voids 

and crevices of the rotor and stator 

winding insulation. Water and dirt build-

up on the generator internal windings 

will eventually decrease the insulation 

resistance of these windings.

NOTE: If you are not familiar with 

maintenance work, have a GT 

POWER Service Dealer do it for safety.

WARNING: Stop the engine before 

starting maintenance work.
