How often do you need to service a generator?

Servicing of fuel and air filters comes at 500 hours or two-year intervals.

Refer to the operators manual for the specific requirements of your generator model.

What happens when you turn off the genset?

This is what happens when you stop your genset. Pressing and holding the stop switch for a few seconds causes the control board to cut off the 12 volts to the ignition and fuel pump (and/or fuel solenoid valve) causing the engine to stop. On models equipped with magneto ignition, the control board grounds the magneto kill circuit.
