i'm doing this from memory. for a 5500 i believe the manuals says change oil, oil filter, and air filter each 150 hours. change plugs at 500 hours. and there is something about cleaning the spark arrestor. again, from memory so don't hold me to this.

Question Resetting LCI OneControl Generator Button

Have a Forester Class C 3011DS Motorhome.
I hate the control panel and would love to have good old fashion switches for things.

That being said, my question is about resetting Generator Hours indicated button on the LCI OneControl Panel. It says service now. We changed oil and took care of "service" but no idea how to reset OneControl so it shows zero hours again. Thanks

Actually there is a maint schedule:
https://www.norwall.com/product_pdfs...015.pdf#page21
Check out chapter 5, page 31. Spark Plug gap is .025 and torque is 13ft lbs.
They do talk about valve lash but mine never “clacked” so I never did it.
