If the generator set operates under dusty or dirty

the alternator. With the generator set running, direct the
stream of air in through the cooling slots at the alternator
end.
Routine Maintenance. Refer to the following generator
set service schedule, the engine service schedule, and
the runtime hour display located on the generator set’s
ADC to determine when to schedule routine
maintenance. Service more frequently generator sets
that are subject to extreme weather or dusty or dirty
conditions.
Service Log. Use the Operating Hour Service Log
located in the back of this manual to document
performed services.
Service Schedule. Perform maintenance on each item
in the service schedule at the designated intervals for
the life of the generator set. For example, an item
requiring service every 100 hours or 3 months also
requires service after 200 hours or 6 months, 300 hours
or 9 months, and so on.
