Owner’s Manual Operation (cont’d) Powering 12 Volt DC tools and Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (12V DC) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator.
3500W Generator Spark Plug Service In order to service the spark plug, you will need a spark plug wrench (commercially available). Recommended spark plugs: NHSP LD F7TC , we recommend our OEM spark plug. To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. 1.
Owner’s Manual Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ENGINE POWER SWITCH (2) IS IN ITS “OFF” POSITION. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM THE ENGINE.
