General Inspection

At least daily or prior to each use, the generating set should be cleaned and inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel or oil leaks.

Engine Side (Refer to the Engine Instruction Manual)

Check Oil Level

Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the fuel tank is filled. Make sure the generating set is level. The oil level must be between the two notches on the dipstick.

Changing Oil

Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation. Drain and refill the engine crankcase every 50 operating hours or once a week thereafter.Drain crankcase oil into a suitable container while engine is still warm. Replace the drain plug tightly. Add oil through the filler hole.

Air Cleaner

Every 50 hours: Remove air cleaner element (std. or heavy duty types), and wash in kerosene or liquid detergent and hot water. Wrap foam element in a cloth and squeeze dry. Wipe heavy duty paper element dry with toweling. Saturate element with kerosene; squeeze excess from foam element. Wipe excess from heavy duty paper element.

GA-6HZ— MAINTENANCE

Service Daily

If engine is operating in very dusty and dry grass conditions. A clogged air cleaner will result in high fuel consumption, loss of power and excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber.

Cleaning the Fuel Strainer

Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline. Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once a month.

Spark Plug

Remove carbon build-up on the spark plug (Figure 4) with a wire brush. Set the spark plug gap to 0.6—0.7mm (0.024- 0.028 inch).Tighten with a spark plug socket wrench. Clean the spark plug every 50 operating hours or once a week.
