CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep the generator clean to prevent improper operation or machine damage from dirt and debris. Inspect all
ventilation openings on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed. If the genera-
tor becomes dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces. Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dirt and oil
and use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt. Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 PSI) to blow away dirt.
WARNING:
hose. Water can get inside the working parts of the generator and cause corrosion or a short circuit.
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
Recommended to drain after every use, and before storage.
Draining the carburetor is recommended to prevent the fuel from clogging up the carburetor. A clogged car-
buretor can prevent the generator from starting. Remove the front panel of the generator. The choke lever is
located on top of the carburetor.
1. Open up the carburetor drain screw with a Phillips screwdriver (not
included) and drain out any gasoline that has built up inside the car-
buretor into an approved gasoline-storage container.
2. Once the fuel has drained, tighten the drain screw with the screw-
driver.
NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor before storing the generator
for long periods of time.
