1
generator, review that all the pieces are complete, review
if there are damaged cables or some other condition that
can affect that the generator operates on safe way. If a
strange noise is listened to or some abnormal vibration,
turn off the generator immediately. Be sure to fix the
problem before giving the generator more use. Do not
use the equipment damaged.
Periodically inspect all the screws and bolts to check
2
they are in place and tight.

Keep this equipment in a clean and dry place.
For the best maintenance of the engine and any other
4
problem, read the engine owner's manual.

After the engine has become cool, remove the excessive
gasoline and store it in a container, safe and approved
for that purpose.
6
After the first 20 hours of use of the generator drain and
replace the oil of the engine, after that the oil must be
changed every 100 working hours
HEAT SHIELD:
Inspect to ensure that all heat shields and heat deflectors
are intact and in place. Removing of these parts could
cause serious damage to the unit.
ENGINE: Carburetor Icing
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions
could cause an icing condition in the carburetor. If it
happens, the engine may run rough, loose power, and
may stall. Call Product Service for more information.

SERvICE AND STORAGE

INFREqUENT SERvICE
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result,
to eliminate hard starting, run the generator at least 30
minutes every 15 days. Also, if the unit will not be used
for some time, it is a good idea to drain the fuel from the
carburetor and gas tank.
LONG TERM STORAGE
When the generator set is not being operated or is being
stored more than one month, follow these instructions:
1
Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2
Drain gasoline from fuel tank line and carburetor.
Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark
3
plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and replace
the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel piston is on
its compression stroke and leave it in that position. This
closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the
inside of cylinder from rusting.
4
Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well
ventilated away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added
to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a
storage container.
