Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the generator set or equipment connected to the set, disable the generator set as follows: (1) Press the generator set off/reset button to shut down the generator set. (2) Disconnect the power to the battery charger, if equipped. (3) Remove the battery cables, negative (--) lead first. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Follow these precautions to prevent the starting of the generator set by the remote start/stop switch.

Reset the spark plug gap or replace the plugs with new plugs as necessary.

1.Clean the area around the base of the spark plug to keep dirt and debris out of the engine.

2.Remove the spark plug and check its condition. Replace the spark plug if it is worn or if its reuse is questionable.

3.Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler gauge. See Figure 5-3 for the recommended spark plug gap. Adjust the gap by carefully bending the ground electrode. See Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5.

4.For easy removal, apply a light coating of anti-seize lubricant to the cleaned spark plug threads. Wipe away any excess compound.

5.Reinstall the spark plug into the cylinder head. Torque the spark plug to 24.4--29.8 Nm (18--22 ft. lb.)
