GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The generator warranty 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 Service and Adjustments
section of this manual should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements
in the
"Maintenance Schedule" chart on page 13.
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.
_
CAUTION!
Never insert any object or tool
through the air cooling slots, even if the engine
is not running.
NOTE: Do Not use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter the engine fuel system and cause
problems. In addition, if water enters the generator
through cooling air slots, some water will be retained
in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding
insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator
internal windings will eventually decrease the
insulation resistance of these windings.
To Clean the Generator
•
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
•
A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked
on dirt, oil, etc.
•
A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose
dirt and debris.
Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be
used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots
and openings on the generator. These openings
must be kept clean and unobstructed.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
_
AUTION!
When working on the generator,
always disconnect negative cable from battery.
Also disconnect spark plug wires from spark
plugs and keep wires away from spark plugs.
This will prevent accidental start-up.
Checking
Oil Level
See "BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR" on
page 7 for information on checking the oil level. The
oil level should be checked before each use, or at
least every eight hours of operation.
Keep the oil
level maintained.
Changing
the Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil and filter after the first 20 hours of
operation.
Thereafter,
change the oil every 50
hours and replace oil filter every 200 hours. If you
are using this engine under dirty or dusty conditions,
or in extremely hot weather, change the oil more
often.
Use the following instructions to change the oil while
the engine is still warm:
1. Clean the area around the oil drain plug, remove
the plug and drain the oil completely into a suitable
container.
2. When the oil is drained, install and tighten the oil
drain plug.
3. Place a suitable container beneath the oil filter and
remove the filter.
