Generator Maintenance Schedule; Cleaning The Generator; Engine Maintenance - Generac iX 800 Manual Del Operador

Never insert any object or tool through the air cooling slots,
even if the engine is not running.
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 through cooling air slots, some
water will be retained in voids and crevices of the rotor
and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the
generator internal windings will eventually decrease the
insulation resistance of these windings.

3.3 CLEANING THE GENERATOR

1. Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
2. A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
3. A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
4. Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings
on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
5. Inspect the vent hoses on the left side of the generator. Make
sure the hoses protrude through the slots below the door and
that the ends are open and free of debris.

Only work on a generator that has cooled completely.
Hot oil may cause burns. Allow engine to cool
entirely before draining oil. Avoid prolonged
or repeated skin exposure with used oil.
Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap.
Inspect the oil level and air filter condition each time you are going
to use the generator. To check the air filter and oil level the left side
service cover must be removed; use a screwdriver to loosen the
screw securing the cover and remove.
The air filter is located behind a cover for the air box (Figure 10).
Push the tab on the bottom of the air box up wards to release the
cover. To service the air cleaner:
