Clean
Every 200 hours
Accumulation of carbon (soot, unburned fuel) in the exhaust system could cause engine
output loss and/or engine fault. To eliminate soot and unburned fuel, run the unit at
more than 70% of the rated output for about half an hour, until the exhaust gas become
mostly colorless. The carbon will accumulate when the unit runs at less than 30% of
rated output.
< Note >
When the unit operates at rated power, accumulation of carbon in the exhaust pipe line and
muffler might be lead to back fire incident. Do not bring flammable items that are highly
combustible near the generator.
