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 two (2) operating hours and every 50 operating hours thereafter, more often if operated in extreme dusty or dirty conditions.

Note 2: Check oil after 5 hours of operation (See below - Engine Maintenance - Oil.)

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should not be stored or operated in enviroments that includes 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 genera- tor. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could possi- bly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the gen head.

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

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Oil

Oil level should be checked prior to each use and at least every 5 hours of operation. To check oil see Adding Engine Oil on page 11.

Changing Engine Oil

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

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.

Change the oil as follows:

To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc. out of the engine, clean the area around the drain plug and plug before removing it.

Remove the oil drain plug and dipstick. Tilt the engine slightly towards the oil drain to obtain better drainage. Be sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.

•´ Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened securely.

Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type (See Adding Oil Section), to the Full mark on the dipstick. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

Reinstall the oil fill cap or plug and tighten securely.

Service Air Cleaner

NOTE: Do not use petroleum solvents, e.g., kerosene, which will cause the cartridge to deteriorate. Do not use pressurized air to clean cartridge. Pressurized air can damage the cartridge.

To service air cleaner follow these steps:

Loosen cover screws. Remove cover and air cleaner assembly from base.

Remove air cleaner assembly from inside of cover and disassemble.
