3. Dispose of used oil according to local zoning or environmental
regulations.
Servicing The Air Cleaner
Maintaining the air cleaner in proper condition is very important. Dirt
induced through improperly installed, improperly serviced or inad-
equate elements damages and wears out engines. Always keep the
element clean. Never run the generator without the air filter element.
1. Unhook the cover and remove the cleaner element.
2. Urethane foam: Wash the element with fresh water. Squeeze out
the water then dry the element. (Do not twist.)
Cleaning and Gapping Spark Plug
If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove the carbon using a
plug cleaner or wire brush. Use NGK BPR6ES or equivalent.
Adjust the electrode gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.024 to 0.028 in).
Cleaning Fuel Strainer
Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer.
1. Remove the strainer cup and throw away water and dirt.
2. Clean the screen and strainer cup with gasoline.
3. Tightly fasten the cup to main body, making sure to avoid fuel leak.
Periodic Operation and Inspection:
When using the generator as emergency electric power source, peri-
odic operation and inspection are needed.
Fuel (gasoline) and engine oil will deteriorate with time, and cause the
engine to be difficult to start and result in improper engine operation
and /or failure.
Since the fuel (gasoline) will deteriorate with time, replace fuel
(gasoline) with fresh fuel periodically; every three months or add a
fuel stabilizer.
1. Check the fuel (gasoline), engine oil and air cleaner.
2. Start engine.
3. With appliance such as lighting activated, run the engine for ove
ten minutes.
4. Check the following items:
• Engine running properly.
• Adequate output.
• Engine switch normally operated.
• No leakage of engine oil and fuel (gasoline).
