Air Filter Maintenance

Routine maintenance of the air filter helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. Occasionally verify that the air filter is free of excessive dirt. The air filter will require more frequent cleaning when operating this generator in extremely dusty areas.

To clean air filter, remove from generator. Wash in kerosene. Pour motor oil on filter, squeeze out excess oil and reinstall in the generator.

Spark Plug Maintenance

The spark plug is essential for proper engine operation. The spark plug should be intact, free of deposits, and properly gapped. A bad or incorrectly installed spark plug can cause engine damage.

To inspect the spark plug:

1.Remove the spark plug by pulling on the spark plug cap.

2.Unscrew the spark plug from this generator by using the included spark plug wrench.

3.Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked and/or chipped, discard and install a new spark plug. A E6TC spark plug, such as NGK BP6HS, is recommended.

4.Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a gauge. The gap should be 0.028-0.031in (0.7-0.8mm). (See Figure 9.)

5.If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from around the spark plug base and then re-gap the spark plug.

6.Screw the spark plug back into place on this generator by using the included spark plug wrench.

7.Replace the spark plug cap.
