Our Top 10 Tips for Your Generator:
- Keep this folder, your owner’s manual & unit keys in a handy place for future reference.
- Make sure the unit has been set in the auto position once the installation (including gas connection) is complete.
- Clear all debris (snow, leaves, etc.) from around your generator, especially on the intake and exhaust sides, to maintain sufficient air flow.
- Schedule routine maintenance with EPS! (First automatic routine maintenance is scheduled for one year post install, or upon customer notification of 8 hours of run time, and then renews according to terms.)
- Monitor your fuel supply when outages are predicted or during lengthy power failures. Fuel consumption can be affected by load; if less electricity is demanded, less fuel will be needed.
- Like all machines, sufficient and clean oil is best. Refer to owner’s manual for specific instructions on checking oil.
- Follow Generac’s® procedure for proper shut down. Information bulletin available upon request.
- Note any messages (newer models) or red indicator lights (older models) for future diagnostic purposes.
- A yellow indicator light on newer models is often a timed reminder alert, and not triggered by a diagnostic issue. Refer to owner’s manual for further details.
- … And remember to routinely check your unit for the green “ready” light!
