MAINTENANCE

It is important to perform service as specified in the Maintenance Schedule for proper generator operation, and to ensure that the generator complies with the applicable emission standards for the duration of its useful life. Service and repairs may be performed by any capable person or repair shop. Additionally, emissions critical maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance with the Maintenance Schedule.

3.2MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions noted below.

Check Oil Level	At Each Use
Change Oil ‡	*Every 100 hours or Every Season
Check Valve Clearance	***Every Season
Service Air Filter	** Every 200 hours or Every Season
Replace Spark Plug	Every Season

‡ Change oil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.

*Change oil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in high temperatures.

**Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions. Replace air filter parts if they cannot be adequately cleaned.

***Check valve clearance and adjust if necessary after first 50 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

3.3.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION

The Environmental Protection Agency (and California Air Resource Board for generators certified to CA standards) require(s) that this generator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission standards. Locate the emissions compliance decal on the engine to determine what standards the generator meets. This generator is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control system consists of the following:

•Air Induction System

~Intake Pipe / Manifold

~Air Cleaner

•Fuel System

~Carburetor

~Fuel Tank / Cap

~Fuel Lines

~Evaporative Vent Lines

~Carbon Canister (for CA engines only)

•Ignition System

~Spark Plug

~Ignition Module

•Exhaust System

~Exhaust Manifold

~Muffler

~Catalyst (for CA engines only).

3.4GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

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

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain the generator.

All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the "Maintenance Schedule" chart.

NOTE:

Once a year, replace the spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help the engine run better and last longer.
