Bought a house with a 1.7Kw Generac. It is set to run once a week for 30

2 or more hours of running a month?
What does it need to check for 30 minutes at a time?
If it starts and is able to provide current within seconds, what else is
needed to check?

Not sure, this is a factory setting. Perhaps to charge the 12 volt car
battery it uses to crank? If there is a way to change the interval, I can't
find it in the manual.
