Storage

before storing generator. Store fuel in approved container. Store fuel in a well-vented area free of open flames or sparks.

The muffler becomes very hot

during operation. The muffler remains hot for a while after shutdown. Let engine cool before storing.

IMPORTANT: Keep generator level while in storage. Never store generator upside down or standing on end.

NOTE: We supply the engine ownerÕs manual with generator. Refer to that manual for questions concerning engine storage.

Cover and store generator in a clean, dry place. Do not expose generator to extreme high or low temperatures during storage.

Maintenance and Repairs

Only a qualified electrical service person should service and repair the

alternator on this generator. Use only factory approved repair parts.

The engine speed is preset. The throttle

is locked in preset position. Do not adjust throttle. Preset position lets engine run at 3600 RPM under load.

The engine must maintain 3600 RPM for generator to create correct voltage. Running engine at lower speeds will damage generator and powered items.

Shut off generator before performing

maintenance.
