Flywheel - Install
Align the positioning pins (1) on the impeller with
the holes (2) in the flywheel. Place the assembly
on the crankshaft. Secure the assembly to the
crankshaft with flywheel washer and bolt. Attach
the impeller shield and bolts. Tighten the bolts to
110±5 N·m (81±4 lbft).
Fuel Line and Filter – Replace
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank into an
appropriate container. Start the engine and let
the engine run out of fuel. Turn the generator
switch to the off “0” position.
Remove the side panel (side opposite control
panel) by removing the 4 bolts. Move clamps (1)
to the center of the fuel line. Remove the fuel
line from the rollover sensor (2).
Move clamps (4) to the center of the fuel line.
Remove the fuel line from the fuel filter (3) and
the fuel valve (5). Remove the fuel filter. Wipe
the mounting surface with a clean rag and install
a new fuel filter. Tighten the fuel filter to 3 - 4
N·m (27 – 35 lb in).
Move clamps (6) to the center of the fuel line.
Remove the fuel line from the fuel valve and the
carburetor.
Inspect the clamps. If the clamps are damaged
discard the old clamps and use new clamps.
Place two clamps near the center of each new
fuel line and install the fuel lines. Position the
clamps so that they will hold the fuel line
securely in place.
Fuel Tank Cap and Strainer – Clean
Wipe off the fuel cap (1) and surrounding area
before removing the fuel cap. Wiping off the fuel
cap and surrounding area before removing the
fuel cap helps to reduce the amount of
contaminants allowed into the fuel system.
Inspect the fuel cap. Make sure that the vent is
not clogged. If plugged, use compressed air to
clear the vent.
If there is a build-up of debris in the fuel strainer
(2), remove the strainer and rinse out the
strainer. Allow the strainer to dry before
installing the strainer. If the strainer is damaged,
replace the strainer.
Generator - Inspect
Once a month start the engine and run the
engine until it reaches normal operating
temperature (about 20 minutes). Plug in a
corded device and turn on the device to ensure
that the generator is providing power. Once you
have verified that the generator is providing
power, turn off the device and unplug it. Then
turn the generator off.
Governor - Adjust
If the maximum engine speed cannot be brought
into the proper range with the Engine Speed –
Adjust procedure, the governor may need
adjustment. You will need to remove the fuel
tank and the air filter housing to adjust the
governor.
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank into an
appropriate container. Start the engine and let
