Tips for servicing and extended generator use:

Servicing your backup generator is essential. A general rule to knowing when it’s a good time to check and/or add oil to your generator is, if you have been running your unit for 4-5 days straight, and if you’re unit has been sitting for longer than 6-8 months with no use.

Please look at the below attached a guide to safely turn off your generator to check/add oil. It is full-synthetic 5W-30 oil. Stay safe.

• 5W-30 Full Synthetic Oil
• Do NOT add oil to a hot generator, let it cool first
• Make sure to turn OFF the generator breaker first. Never turn a generator off at the Emergency stop switch in the back, unless it’s an emergency
• Too much oil is worse than too little oil
