Wartungsverfahren

Performing regular maintenance helps ensure your generator operates reliably. Always refer to your generator's owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions before beginning any maintenance.

Allgemeine Vorbereitung

• Ensure the generator is turned off and has cooled down completely.
• Disconnect the spark plug wires to prevent accidental starting.
• Gather all necessary tools, including a wrench for the oil filter, a spark plug wrench, and screwdrivers if needed for air filter housing.

1. Ölfilterwechsel

The oil filter should be replaced during every scheduled maintenance interval (200 hours or 2 years).

1. Place a drain pan beneath the oil filter to catch any oil spills.
2. Carefully unscrew the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench.
3. Apply a thin film of new oil to the rubber gasket of the new Generac oil filter.
4. Screw on the new oil filter by hand until the gasket makes contact, then tighten an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do not overtighten.
5. Dispose of the old oil filter and drained oil responsibly according to local regulations.

2. Luftfilterwechsel

The air filter and pre-cleaner should be inspected and replaced as part of routine maintenance.

1. Suchen Sie das Luftfiltergehäuse an Ihrem Generator.
2. Open the air filter housing cover (may require unscrewing fasteners).
3. Remove the old air filter and pre-cleaner.
4. Install the new pre-cleaner over the new air filter.
5. Insert the new air filter assembly into the housing, ensuring it fits securely.
6. Schließen und sichern Sie die Abdeckung des Luftfiltergehäuses.

3. Zündkerzenwechsel

Replace spark plugs during scheduled maintenance to ensure efficient ignition.

1. Carefully remove the spark plug wires from the existing spark plugs.
2. Use a spark plug wrench to loosen and remove the old spark plugs.
3. Inspect the new spark plugs. While often pre-gapped, it is recommended to verify the gap according to your generator's owner's manual (e.g., 0.020" for 816cc engines).
4. Die neuen Zündkerzen sollten von Hand in den Motor eingeschraubt werden, um ein Verkanten zu vermeiden.
5. Tighten with a spark plug wrench. Do not overtighten.
6. Schließen Sie die Zündkerzenkabel wieder fest an.

4. Oil Change (Oil Funnel Use)

While the kit includes an oil funnel, engine oil is sold separately. Always use the recommended oil type and viscosity for your generator model.

1. Ensure the generator engine is warm to facilitate oil drainage.
2. Stellen Sie einen geeigneten Behälter unter die Ölablassschraube.
3. Entfernen Sie die Ölablassschraube und lassen Sie das gesamte Altöl vollständig ablaufen.
4. Reinstall the oil drain plug securely.
5. Using the provided oil funnel, slowly add the recommended amount and type of new engine oil.
6. Check the oil level using the dipstick and add more if necessary, ensuring it is within the proper range.

5. General Cleaning (Chamois Use)

Use the chamois to clean any spills or debris around the engine and components after maintenance. A clean generator is easier to inspect and maintain.
