2. To clean slip rings; polish with a piece of fine
sandpaper while rotor is turning. DO NOT USE
EMERY PAPER. Disconnect spark plug wire and
turn engine with starter to polish slip rings.
3. The alternator should be kept clean and reason-
ably dry.
4. Maximum engine life can be obtained if oil is
changed every 200 operating hours or 30 days,
whichever occurs first. After engine is drained,
repeat "Filling Engine".
ILLUSTRATED
PARTS LIST
All replacement parts for the alternator are shown
on the lexploded view illustrations. Each part is
identified with an index number which is keyed to
the parts list. The index numbers are used solely
for identification - not for ordering parts.
To save time - to make sure-that you get the cor-
rect part - be sure to include the following infor-
mation with your parts order;
1. Part name and part number (NOT the index num-
ber shown on the exploded view.)
2. The alternator model and serial number (found
on the nameplate.)
3. Quantity of each part ordered.
1. STARTING
PROCEDURE
a. Fill gas tank with gasoline.
b. Check Oil.
c. Open fuel line valve (if applicable).
d. Press start button or use starter rope.
2. STOPPING &STORAGE
OF ALTERNATOR
To stop, press starter button to off position.
If alternator is placed in storage for any period of
time,
the
fuel tank should be drained.Then run the
engine to burn up the gasoline in the carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and place a teaspoon of oil
in the head. Turn the engine
over a few times then
replace the spark plug.
The engine should be run in by operating at loads
not in excess of % the name plate rating for the
first two full tanks of gasoline.
This will greatly ex-
tend the useful life
of your engine.

Loads may be applied to the alternator by plugging
into one or more of the receptacles on the panel.
Check the individual wiring diagram for specific
loads that may be applied. It is very important that
polarized plugs be used in order to maintain a com-
mon ground between the alternator and its load.
All alternators of 2000 watts or larger are equip-
ped with automatic reset, thermal overload switches,
which will open under extreme-overloads, thereby
shutting off the AC to the receptacles. The over-
road device will close, when the operating tempera-
ture drops to a safe level. Smaller units are
inherently protected by oversize windings which
cannot overheat.
