Wartung

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Generac generator. Refer to the owner's manual for detailed maintenance schedules.

• Luftfilter: Überprüfen und reinigen oder ersetzen Sie den Luftfilter gegebenenfalls.
• Zündkerze: Inspect and clean or replace the spark plug. Ensure proper gap.
• Kraftstoffsystem: Use fresh fuel and consider a fuel stabilizer for storage periods to prevent fuel system issues.
• Stundenzähler: Utilize the built-in hour meter to track maintenance intervals and ensure timely servicing.

Fehlerbehebung

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Generac generator.

Generator startet nicht:

• Kraftstoffstand prüfen: Ensure there is sufficient fresh gasoline in the tank.
• Ölstand prüfen: Verify the engine oil level. The low-oil shutdown feature will prevent starting if the oil is too low.
• Battery Charge (Electric Start): For electric start, ensure the battery is fully charged. If not, use the pull start or charge the battery. The battery will charge while the generator is running.
• Würgeposition: Ensure the choke is in the correct position for starting (fully choked for cold starts, gradually opened as it warms).
• Zündkerze: Inspect the spark plug for fouling or damage. Clean or replace if necessary. Check the spark plug gap (0.030 inches).
• Solenoid Issue: If the generator does not turn over at all, even with a charged battery, the starter solenoid might be faulty. This component controls power to the starter motor.

COsense® Technology Activation:

• If the COsense® indicator light illuminates and the generator shuts down, it indicates high levels of carbon monoxide. Immediately move the generator to an open, well-ventilated outdoor area. Do not operate it indoors or in enclosed spaces.
