3.2.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that this
generator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission standards.
This generator is certified to meet the applicable EPA emission
levels on gasoline. The emission control system on this generator
consists of the following:
• Fuel System
~ Carburetor
~ Fuel Tank/cap
~ Fuel Lines
~ Evaporative Vent Lines
• Exhaust System
~ Exhaust Manifold
~ Muffler
It is important to perform the service specified in the Maintenance
Schedule to ensure that the generator complies with the applicable
emission standards for the duration of its useful life. Additionally,
emissions critical maintenance must be performed as scheduled
in order for the Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical
maintenance consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in
accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. Service and repairs
may be performed by any capable person or repair shop.

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".
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.
