WATTAGE INFORMATION CHOOSING THE CORRECT GENERATOR: Domestic Generators are for backup use only and are not recommended for continuous use. It is rec- ommended to allow 20% above the wattage you need when choosing a generator. So a 1000W heater would generally need a 1200W generator.

WATTAGE INFORMATION (CONTINUED) Depending on their wattage output, generators will run anything from a small lamp to a number of large appliances. To determine the size generator you will need, total the wattage of the maximum number of items you will be running simultaneously. For example: running a 1 00 watt light bulb, a 200 watt slow cooker, a 1 ,200 watt refrigerator with a start up wattage of 2,900 watts and a 750 watt TV would require 3,950 watts.
MAINTENANCE DAILY INSPECTION Before running the generator, check the following service items: • Enough gasoline • Clean air cleaner element • Enough clean engine oil • Loose or broken bolts and nuts PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance is vital to safe and e cient operation of your generator Check the table below for periodic maintenance intervals.
Page 23
MAINTENANCE Periodic Maintenance Schedule table NOTE : Initial oil change should be performed after rst twenty (20) hours of operation. Thereafter change oil every hundred (100) hours. Before changing oil, check for a suitable way to dispose of old oil. NOTE : As to the procedures for these items, please refer to the SERVICE MANUAL or consult your nearest service dealer.
MAINTENANCE “HOW-TO” CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG (a) If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove it using a plug cleaner or wire brush. (b) Adjust the electrode gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.024 to 0.028 in.). CLEANING FUEL STRAINER Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer.
