PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION

Note: Always perform the recommended pre-operation inspections before each use. Always perform the inspections at the beginning of a project and when removing the generator from storage.

Failure to perform the recommended pre-operation inspections could result in minor or moderate injury or property damage. When inspection reveals the need for adjustment, replacement, or repair, perform service promptly.

Pre-Operation Checklist

Open the service door to expose the generator inner components. See page 46.

Engine Oil

Perform “Oil Level Inspection” (see page 49). Add oil as needed.

Fuel Line

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive and can cause serious injury. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.

Inspect the fuel hose for cracks or damage. Replace as needed.

Fuel Level

Check the fuel level and refuel as needed. See page 26.

Exhaust System

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing.

Inspect the exhaust system for leakage. Tighten or replace the gasket as needed.

Carburetor

Inspect the choke lever operation.

Starting System

Inspect the recoil starter operation. Verify the starter recoil grip functions properly.

Air Filters

Inspect the air filters. Clean or replace as needed. See page 25.
