IMPORTANT GENERATOR MAINTENANCE TIPS:
• Drain your carburetor after each use and before storage to prevent it from clogging.
• Do not store the generator with fuel inside the tank for more than 2 months - the fuel will go bad.
• Run the generator for at least 20 minutes every month to charge the battery and maximize lifespan.
CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep the generator clean to prevent improper operation or machine damage from dirt and debris. Inspect all venti-
lation openings on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed. If the generator becomes
dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces. Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dirt and oil and use a vacuum to
pick up loose dirt. Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 PSI) to blow away dirt.
CAUTION! Never clean the generator when it is running! Never clean with a bucket of water or a hose. Water
can get inside the working parts of the generator and cause corrosion or a short circuit.
