GENERAL 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
above.
NOTE
: Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer.
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.
