GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negli- gence. To receive full value from the warranty, opera- tor must maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Refer to the Engine Operator's manual for service and maintenance of the engine.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should not be stored or oper- ated in environments that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the generator head.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI receptacle) (for BS600)

MONTHLY: For maximum protection against electrical shock the GFCI should be tested monthly.

To test:

1.Depress the TEST button. The RESET button should extend. If the RESET button does not extend, notify a Porter-Cable Authorized Service Center.

2.To restore power, depress the RESET button firmly into the GFCI unit until an audible click is heard. If reset properly, the RESET button is flush with the surface of the test button. When the button stays in, the power is ON.
