How Long Can My Generator Run Continuously?

DuroMax generators can run continuously as long as fuel is being supplied to the generator.

However, the generator should still be shut down periodically to perform required maintenance according to the maintenance schedule listed in the owner’s manual.

Regular maintenance helps ensure the generator continues to operate safely and reliably.

Important Maintenance Considerations

Even during extended operation, the generator will need to be stopped occasionally to perform routine maintenance such as:

• Checking and changing engine oil

• Inspecting the air filter

• Checking for loose connections or leaks

Following the recommended maintenance schedule helps prevent engine wear and prolongs the life of the generator.

Continuous Operation Tips

If you plan to run the generator for extended periods:

• Monitor fuel levels regularly

• Check engine oil levels frequently

• Allow the generator to cool briefly during maintenance checks

• Follow the maintenance intervals listed in your owner’s manual

Important Note

⚠ Always refer to your generator’s owner’s manual for the specific maintenance schedule and operating recommendations for your model.
