ENDBELL

CAUTION: Keep fuel tank area free of all debris, water, and ice. Do not block vent. “Tank must breathe.”

A . 120 V, 15 Ampere Duplex Receptacles

15 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings.

B.Circuit Breaker

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If

the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

C.Engine Switch

SPARK ARRESTER MUFFLER

This engine is equipped with a U.S. Forest Service approved spark arrest muffler. It should periodically be cleaned to prevent the screen from becoming clogged, which could hamper engine performance.

To clean, remove the muffler shield. Remove the four screws and pull the plate with the screen attached. Clean off any particles with a brush and reinstall. Be sure gasket is in place.
