GENERAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored. NEVER operate a

damaged or defective generator.

NOTE: Should you have questions about replacing components on your Briggs & Stratton Power Products generator, please call 1-800-743-4115for assistance.

Engine Maintenance

See engine operator’s manual for instructions.

SPECIFICATIONS CAUTION

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil.

Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.

Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

Maintenance Minder

The maintenance minder displays and records how many hours your generator has run (up to 9,999.9). It also alerts you when to change your oil and to service your air filter.

The message “CHG OIL” will flash after the first 20 hours of unit operation.This is to remind you to replace the ‘break-in’ oil with regular duty oil.The same message will again flash after intervals of 100 hours.The maintenance reminder does not sense that the oil change has occurred - it merely flashes the message for a two hour period to permit you to observe the reminder.

Similarly, the message “SVC AIR FILTER” will flash after intervals of 50 hours to remind you to service or change the air filter element.

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.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots, some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

Use approved spark plug tester.

DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
