extend the life of the generator. See any authorized dealer for
service.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replace the air filter. New spark plugs and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
See the Emissions Warranty.
