Periodic Maintenance, Wattage Reference Chart

Take care when adding electrical loads to the generator. Never connect any load to the generator before starting the engine. The safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads:

1.Start the engine and allow it to warm up.

2.Plug in the first load (turned off), which is preferably the largest load.

3.Let the generator output stabilize (engine runs smoothly and device operates correctly).

4.Plug in and turn on the next load.

5.Let the generator stabilize again.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, then turn it off and disconnect it.

ATTENTION

Heavy overloading will trip the circuit breaker. Slight overloading may not trip the circuit breaker but will shorten the life of the generator.

If the load exceeds the rated capacity of the generator, then the AC protector will trip, stopping the electricity flow to connected devices. Reduce the load to within the rated capacity and press the reset button to use the generator again.

Stopping the Engine

Turn off all attached appliances and tools and unplug their cords. Move the AC switch, then the engine switch and finally the fuel lever to "off" positions.

Transport

Make sure the engine switch and fuel lever are in the "off" positions. Keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spillage may ignite.

WARNING

Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns or fires. Let the engine cool before transporting the generator.

Take care not to drop or strike the generator while transporting. Do not place heavy objects on the generator.

Never operate a damaged or defective motor! When adjusting or making repairs to your generator disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place that wire where it cannot contact the spark plug. Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator because water can enter the fuel system and cause problems.

Periodic Maintenance

Spark Plug Inspection

1.Remove the spark plug cap.

2.Remove the spark plug.

3.Inspect the spark plug—it should be a tan color. Discard if the insulator is cracked or chipped.

4.Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it will be reused.

5.Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. Make sure the plug gap is between .028 and .031 in (.7 and .8 mm).

.7 - .8 mm (.028 - .031 in.)

6.Thread the spark plug back in by hand to prevent cross-threading. The correct torque to use is 14 ft-lbs (20 Nm).

ATTENTION

The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug can become very hot and could damage the engine.
