WARNING:
Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can
result in serious burns or fire. Allow the engine cool
before transporting or storing the generator.
When transporting the generator, take care not to drop or
strike the generator. Do not place heavy objects on the
generator.
When transporting the generator on a vehicle, secure to
the generator frame as shown.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When the engine fails to start:
Check if fuel is in
the tank.
Check the fuel
level.
Check the
condition of the
spark plug.
Check if fuel is
reaching the
carburetor.
If the engine still fails to start, take the generator to an
authorized Makita generator dealer.
When no electricity is generated at the AC
receptacles:
Check that the
AC circuit
breaker is in the
"I (ON)" position.
Check if the
electrical
appliance or
equipment has
any defects.
If empty, refill the fuel
tank.
If low, add the
recommended oil.
If in bad condition,
readjust the gap and dry
the spark plug. Replace if
necessary.
If not, clean the fuel
sediment cup.
If not, turn on the AC
circuit breaker.
If there are no defects,
take the generator to an
authorized Makita
generator dealer.
If there are defects:
- Replace the electrical
appliance or
equipment.
- Take the electrical
appliance or equipment
to an electrical shop to
be repaired.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Emission Control System Information
Source of Emissions
Carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons
are produced in the combustion process. Controlling the
emission of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is
extremely important because, under certain conditions,
they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to
sunlight. Although carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way, it is toxic.
Makita utilizes the appropriate air-fuel ratios and other
emissions control systems in order to reduce the
emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and
hydrocarbons.
Furthermore, Makita fuel systems utilize components and
control technologies in order to reduce evaporative
emissions.
Tampering and Altering
The level of emissions may increase beyond the legal
limit, if the emission control system is tampered with or
altered. Acts that constitute tampering include:
• Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or
exhaust systems.
• Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-
adjusting mechanism to cause the engine to operate
outside its design parameters.
Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you become aware of any of the following symptoms,
have the engine inspected and repaired by your servicing
dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after starting.
• Rough idle.
• Misfiring or backfiring under load.
• Afterburning (backfiring).
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your Makita engine were
designed, built, and certified to conform to applicable
emission regulations. Therefore, it is recommended that
genuine Makita parts be used whenever you have
maintenance done. Since these original-design
replacement parts are manufactured to the same
standards as the original parts, their performance is
reliable. Using replacement parts that are not of the
original design and quality may decrease the
effectiveness of the emission control system.
Note that manufacturers producing aftermarket parts
assume the responsibility that the part will not adversely
affect emission performance. The manufacturer or
rebuilder of the part must certify that the engine will still
comply with emission regulations even with the use of the
part.
Maintenance
Follow the Maintenance Schedule. Remember that this
schedule is based on the assumption that the machine will
be used for the purpose it is designed. The machine will
require more frequent service for continuous high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or
dusty conditions.
