Maintenance Interval Schedule

Before performing any operation or maintenance procedures, ensure that the Safety Information,
warnings, and instructions are read and understood.
To determine the maintenance intervals, use fuel consumption, service hours or calendar time,
which ever occurs first. Experience has shown that maintenance intervals are most accurately
scheduled on the basis of fuel consumption. For information on service hours and fuel consumption,
see this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Recommendations" topic
(Maintenance Section).
Before each consecutive interval is performed, all of the maintenance requirements from the
previous interval must be performed.

Note: For information on generator maintenance, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the
generator.

Note: For engines that have a standard oil sump, change the engine oil and oil filters after 500 hours of
operation. For engines that have a deep oil sump, change the engine oil and oil filters after 1000 hours of
operation.
