Maintaining and servicing your Onan generator is an important part of keeping your RV running smoothly and ensuring that it is ready for your next adventure. Here are some tips for servicing your Onan generator:

1. Change the oil and oil filter regularly. Onan recommends changing the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year.
   
2. Check and replace the air filter as needed. A dirty air filter can reduce the generator's performance and shorten its lifespan.
   
3. Inspect the spark plugs and replace them if they are worn or damaged.
   
4. Check the fuel filter and replace it if it is clogged or dirty.
   
5. Perform a load test to ensure that the generator is producing enough power and running smoothly.
   
6. Check the generator's belts and hoses for wear and replace them if necessary.
   

By following these simple maintenance steps, you can help ensure that your Onan generator is running at its best and ready to power your RV when you need it.
