3.2.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resource Board (CARB) require that your generator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission standards. This generator is certified to meet the applicable EPA and CARB emission levels. Additional information regarding the requirements set by EPA and CARB is as follows:

It is important that you follow the maintenance specifications provided in this manual to ensure that your engine complies with the applicable emission standards for the duration of the engine’s life. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control system on your generator consists of the following:

•	Fuel System	•	Air Induction System
	Fuel Tank		~	Intake pipe/manifold
	Fuel Cap		~	Air cleaner
	Carburetor	•	Ignition System
	Fuel Lines		~	Spark plug
•	Evaporative Control System		~	Ignition module
	Carbon Canister	•	Exhaust System
	Vapor Hoses		~	Pulse Air Injection Valve
			~	Muffler

The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal and California emission requirements. See the table below to determine the compliance period for your generator. The displacement of your generator is listed on the Emissions Compliance Label.

Displacement	Category	Compliance Period
	A	500 Hours
≥ 66 cc - < 225 cc	B	250 Hours
	C	125 Hours

	A	1000 Hours

≥ 225 cc	B	500 Hours
	C	250 Hours

3.3 GENERAL 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".

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.

3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface.

nNever insert any object or tool through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.
