The most clear , concise and easy to understand instructions, thank you very much. It was explained in simple and clear terms .
Just Bought generac in a different state, this was a great video for general maintenance, thank you so very
Been servicing these for over 20 years and the most important part a customer can do is be aware of the weekly exercise. If it doesn't exercise and it needs more than oil, just call us. It will probably be cheaper to get a qualified tech to solve the problem than to straighten out what the customer screws up. The book says plugs will last 400 hours but in my experience it will need a valve adjustment closer to 250 hours. Plugs are cheap and you have to pull them to adjust the valves so might as well put new ones in at the same time. BTW, you want to do a quick load test on the battery? After changing the oil, just shut off the gas, and let the board do it's 3 cranking cycles with the switch in the manual position while monitoring a volt meter. (10 seconds crank, 10 seconds pause x 3) You have now load tested the battery and primed the oil filter under a no load condition. You have also checked that the control board faults after 3 failed start attempts. This is one of the safety items that should be checked at each service.
@wigwamman1… Maintaining things is only one aspect. Repairs and knowing how to spot small problem before it becomes a BIG problem takes years of experience. I have no issue with the home owner doing maintenance, but years of experience tells me they won't notice half the things that I see on a daily basis. That's where we part ways and I suggest someone who is qualified and trained by the factory.
Very well done. Thank you.
Thank you. Excellent step by step guide.
Thank you for your time
Thanks for doing this guys!
Great instructions.
Guy leaves it on auto during service. What a pro!
He did not make service. He just show us the points that has to be checked.
Mine is a Generac Quietsource, & has a radiator, so coolant to check, too. I'd think this one would also, but I'm just learning. Mine is a little older.
Saves me 375$ a year. thanks! the best tutorial ever!
Ya no joke lol. Sister also just saved roughly 400 a year. This is even easier than I expected.
It's a great instructional video and helped me fix my Generac generator. I had errors showing on the panel every couple of months that I saw yellow and/or red light at the side. When this happened, the crack attempt would fail. I turned it off reset it by pushing the ENTER twice as instructed in the video and it worked. Thank you so much. Do you or anyone here know the reason for this recurring problem? Is there something I should fix before it becomes serious and not fixable by pushing ENTER twice? THANKS.
What about inspecting/replacing the spark plug(s)? Thanks for the helpful video.
the panel, board, functions to give you the battery condition , Hrtz,Rpm, and on some models for voltage under run and load!
Actual run time vary important, is available on that unit also, great for future reference !Take the time to log in the board work performed.
Check valve lash with finger in blow back tube port as you look for excessive moisture or oil in tube end.
Spark plug condition? Take nothing for granted, propane and natural gas are an atomized fuel, wet, check and or replace plugs before you do the run check. Best way , check battery with D.C. Reading on cranking action, may also give up issues with starter and solenoid .
Pre charge your filter while your waiting for the drain out, you will note no less than three times. Six total minutes more, all this is accomplished.y
showing checking the valve clearance would be nice. You show the easy stuff but not the one that could be tricky.
Great video instructions. Does the generator lose the exercise schedule when you disconnect the battery? Thanks for your time.
Very Easy way to save $450-500 if you have it done twice a year. I would even supervise :) The service kit is about -$20 on line with free shipping. Save more if you only change the oil the second service. I personally don't think it is necessary. Since in 6 months it runs only 26 times 10 minutes = 2.3 hours. Generac states an oil change is required after 200 hours or every 2nd year using synthetic oil. which they use!BTW my battery died so I have to put a new one in. About $40+ at Wal-Mart. No different than changing one in a car. Hope the charger is still working!
Robert Garcia... I also hope the charger is working because on the model shown in this video it's part of the control board. ($450 last I looked) OTOH, I have never seen the charger function on this board go bad, and we are one of the larger dealers in the northeast with thousands of customers.
Good video except the unit should be in Off for entire procedure.
Bad way to orient the battery terminals. The screen is metal, the unit vibrates quite a bit. Terminals should always be contained within the battery footprint.
Good video. I have hard time removing the 26R battery from the enclosure.
What about cleaning and gapping the spark plugs and checking the valve Adjustment?
Good video. But putting the funnel into the oil entry after its been laying on the ground is a no no
shouldnt it have a cold weather kit around the filter &under battery in alaska
I have a Generac 15KW Guardian Plus, model # 0043903. Last July, Ithe battery was dead, and the battery charger was only putting out 1.5 volts. I replaced the battery charger and recharged the battery. Last month, I found the battery dry, and the charger was putting out 24 volts. What is going on with the battery chargers? Or is it the battery?
Spark plugs need to be checked per run time hrs and also the valve lash. I checked my valve lash on the John Deere X300 this past summer and the lash was too large by .009.
Great video! Does the battery get trickle charged while the generator is in standby mode? Or does it drain then need replacement?
AC line power is used to run a small battery maintainer which will keep the 12v battery fully charged.
Does anyone know if I can just test the battery with a voltage meter or do I need a battery tester
What about the Spark plugs?
yup im gunna remove the air box and air filter with the unit in AUTO. when any kind of check or maintenance is being done the generator the unit should be in the OFF position
and the breakers in OFF
what is with the cousin Eddie head gear?
How was getting that battery out so easy?
Ahh, I used to sell pallets full of those sears plus starts to generac dealers.
Where does the battery get the electricity from? Will there be a need to charge it?
@@TFT-bp8zk Thank you!
Any reason you fail to use the training on the use of the board and function of their equipment?
Very Righteous Hat. LOL
How cold was it there? Looks like your in Alaska Lol
My generator calls for a 525 CCA minimum, will something bigger affect the generator?
The video is very helpful but the background music is extremely annoying.
what engineer decided to put an air filter in basically a sealed box...
He forgot to do one important task - test the generator for proper operation. This is a serious omission in my opinion. Perhaps Pullin would respond with their comment.
You never show the people how to change the spark plugs I think it’s really a poor video for 15 steps.
The background music sucks!
Sepultura better then Metallica
You didn't show how to adjust the valves!!! What's with that goofy hat???
