NOTE: if you are going to clean the PAPER
CARTRIDGE do not install the foam pre-cleaner.
Proceed to the instructions for servicing the cartridge.
• Carefully install the foam pre-cleaner around the
cartridge.
To service the paper cartridge, proceed as follows:
• Clean cartridge by tapping gently on a flat surface.
If cartridge is very dirty, replace or wash in a low or
non-sudsing detergent and warm water solution.
• Rinse thoroughly with flowing water from mesh side
until water runs clear.
• Let cartridge dry thoroughly before using.
A
CAUTION! DO NOT use petroleum solvents
such as kerosene to clean the element.
Such solvents will cause deterioration of
the element. DO NOT oil the element.
DO NOT use pressure air to clean or dry
the element.
• Reinstall paper cartridge, retain with cartridge
retainer and knob.
• Carefully install foam pre-cleaner.
• Install cover assembly and latch onto air cleaner
body.
Engine Governed Speed
Engine speed was properly adjusted at factory and
should require no additional adjustment. DO NOT
attempt to change engine speed.
Excessively high speeds are dangerous and increase
risk of personal injury. Excessively low speeds impose
a heavy load on the engine when sufficient power is
not available, which may shorten engine life.
Operating the engine at incorrect speed settings
affects electrical generator operation as follows:
• Operating engine at high speeds results in an
over-frequency and over-voltage condition.
• Operating engine at low speeds causes an
under-frequency and under-voltage condition.
IMPORTANT: Incorrect frequency and/or voltage
may damage some connected electrical loads.
If you suspect engine speed is incorrect, take your
generator to an authorized service facility for repair
and adjustment.
Clean Spark Arrestor Muffler
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrester
screen. The screen should be inspected every
100 operating hours, or once each year, whichever
comes first.
A
DANGER! Let muffler cool before working
on it. Contact with a hot muffler or engine
can cause severe burns.
NOTE: If you use your generator on any forested,
brush or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have
a spark arrester. The spark arrestor must be cleaned
and maintained in good condition by the owner or
operator.
The preceding is required by law in the State of
California. Other states may have similar laws.
Federal laws apply on federal lands.
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:
• Remove four screws that attach the spark arrestor
screen.
• Inspect the screen and replace if torn, perforated
or otherwise damaged. DO NOT USE a defective
screen. If the screen is not damaged, clean it with
a commercial solvent.
• Reattach the screen and the heat shield.
