Prepare Unit for Storage

Prepare unit for storage if it is to remain idle for more than 30 days.

Note 1: Change oil after first five (5) operating hours, every 50 operating hours thereafter, and every 25 hours if operating under heavy load or high ambient temperature, and

Note 2: Clean more often under dusty conditions.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negli- gence. To receive full value from the warranty, opera- tor must maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.

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

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should not be stored or oper- ated in environments that include excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the generator head.

All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should be made at least once each season.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establish- ment or individual. However, to obtain no charge repairs under the terms and provisions of the engine manufacturers warranty statement, any service or emission control part repair or replace- ment must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.

Oil

Oil level should be checked prior to each use and at least every 8 hours of operation. To check oil see Adding Engine Oil paragraph in the Operation section on page 12.

Changing Engine Oil

For a new engine, change oil after the first 5 operating hours. Thereafter, change oil after every 50 hours of operation or every season.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking, or changing oil.
