MAINTENANCE

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the generator. See any authorized dealer for service.

The generator’s warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain generator as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your generator.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the “Maintenance Schedule” chart below in Figure 10.

NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

GENERATOR

MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry

environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface.

NOTE: DO NOT use water or other liquids to clean generator. Liquids can enter the engine fuel system causing poor performance and / or failure to occur. In addition, if liquids enters the generator through cooling air slots, some of the liquid will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Liquid and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

Generator Cleaning

Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from generator. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.

Generator parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.

•Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

•Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

•Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
