2. Restore power to the GFCI by firmly pressing the RESET button back
into the receptacle until an audible click is heard.
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor muffler
If the engine is equipped with a spark arrester muffler, clean and inspect it
regularly (follow manufacturer's service instructions). Replace if damaged.
Keep generator clean.
If dust or debris accumulates on the generator, clean the generator with a
damp cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not allow air intakes to become blocked.
Note: Do not spray generator with a garden hose or pressure washer.
Water may enter the generator and cause damage to the rotor, stator, or
internal windings.
Inspect, recharge, and maintain your battery according to your battery
manufacturer's instructions. (Only for those models equipped with electric
start.)
Do not store with battery charger always connected. Batteries that are over-
charged can boil themselves dry and produce excessive amounts of hydrogen,
an explosive gas.
Once a year inspect the brush assembly.
Look for excessive or uneven wear. If either is present, take the unit in to be
repaired by a qualified technician.
