the end of the screen, with the lettering facing outward.
Secure the cover plate with the two screws and lock
washers provided with the spark arrester kit.
Federal and local laws and administrative
requirements indicate when and where spark
arresters are required. When ordered, spark
arresters are required for operation of this generator
in National Forest lands. In California, this
generator must not be used on any forest- covered
land, brush-covered land, or grass- covered land
unless the engine is equipped with a spark arrester.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the generator as
a result of failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
