TRANSPORTING

Weight hazard. Always have assistance when lifting the
generator.
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before transporting.
• If operating on LPG, turn the propane tank valve to the
fully closed position.
• Disconnect the LPG/propane hose from the generator
and propane tank.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Only use the generator's fixed handle(s) to lift the unit
or attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down
straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the generator by
holding onto any of its other components.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel
or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before
transport.
• The generator wheels are only intended for hand
transport. The wheels are not suitable for towing the
generator either on or off-road.
• Use the extendable handle for one-person, hand
transport. To deploy the handle, push on the locking
button and pull on the handle until it's fully extended.
To stow it, push on the locking button and push on the
handle until it's fully retracted. Only extend or retract
the handle while the generator is OFF, stationary,
and resting on a horizontal surface. Do not use the
extendable handle to lift the generator entirely off the
ground, tow it, or up-end it.
Fire hazard. Do not up-end the generator or place it on
its side. Fuel or oil can leak and damage to the generator
may occur.

MAINTENANCE
ENGINE SERVICE COVER
Remove the engine service cover to access the air filter,
carburetor, and spark plug. Remove the cover screws
then pull the cover straight out with both hands to prevent
damage to the grommet posts on the cover.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Fire hazard. Never use gasoline or other flammable
solvents to clean the air filter. Use only household
detergent soap to clean the air filter.
The air filter must be cleaned after every 50 hours of use or
six months (frequency should be increased if the generator
is operated in a dusty environment).
1. Place the generator on a level surface and allow the
engine to cool for several minutes.
2. Remove the engine service cover.
3. Turn the knobs on the air cleaner cover to the unlocked
position. Tip the cover down to remove.
Note: The air filter element is oil soaked. Use an
appropriate cleaning container.
NOTICE
Avoid skin contact with engine oil. Wear protective
clothing and equipment. Wash all exposed skin with
soap and water.
