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.

Disconnect spark plug wire and keep away from spark plug. Disconnect battery at negative terminal.

With engine off but still warm, remove oil drain plug and drain oil into appropriate receptacle.

Reinstall drain plug. Remove oil fill cap.

Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type (See Adding Engine Oil in the Operation section), to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

FULL

Reinstall the oil fill cap or plug and tighten se- curely.

Change Oil Filter

Change oil filter after every 100 hours or every season.

Drain engine oil and remove oil filter.

Used oil is a hazardous waste product. Dispose of used oil properly. Do not discard with household waste. Check with your local authorities, service center, or dealer for safe disposal/recycling facilities.
