Maintenance on 1000w Alp Generator?

[Camping USA]

I've had this thing for 5 months now. Is there any routine maintenance I need to do to this to keep it running properly?

First, have you referred to your manual? I would start by changing out your oil.

That's the win for these generators compared to gas generators, maintenance is minimal compared. Just keep oil in them, clean out the air cleaner, plug and changing oil. If you need help, they have a number of videos here: https://alpgenerators.com/pages/videos

I haven't owned an Alp but, I've had propane and gas generators in my motor homes. Hands down the propane needed very little maintenance compared to gas. I would still change the oil but is was more time based then hours based. If I used the propane to the number of hours where Onan said change oil, the oil came out real clean compared to a similar using gas. I was in very dusty areas so I kept on top of my air cleaners.
As M Kesik said, minimal maintenance.
Still follow what the manufacture says.

Hey Smritte, did you have problems with the hybrid generator after time?

 

[smritte]

Their not really Hybrid, just propane. It doesn't really matter if is a suit case generator or huge trailer mount, propane does very little wear to the engine. On mine, I would do the maintenance and the oil and plug were always clean. Even the propane forklifts at work have very little maintenance. Issues wise, I had more issues with my gas generators if they sat for long periods where my propane didn't. My last propane was an Onan. I think i ran that for eight or ten years before I got rid of the camper. It was flawless.

Soon we will need to shift to these sort of generators considering gas engines getting banned in future.

Soon propane or sun powered generators is all that is going to be left.
