Maintenance and Repairs
Only a qualified
electrical service
person should service and repair the
alternator on this generator. Use only
factory approved replacement parts.
The engine speed is
preset. The throttle
is locked in preset position. Do not
adjust throttle. Preset position lets
engine run at 3600 RPM under load.
The engine must maintain 3600 RPM for
generator to create correct voltage.
Running engine at lower speeds will
damage generator and powered items.
Shut off generator
before performing
maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Keep generator level when
servicing. Never turn generator upside
down or stand it on end to service.
NOTE: We supply the engine owner’s
manual with generator. Refer to that
manual for questions concerning engine
maintenance and repairs.
Non-engine parts require little mainte-
nance. Keep generator clean. Use a damp
cloth to clean outside surfaces. Never use
water to clean generator. Water can cause
damage to internal parts. Use vacuum to
clean air inlet and outlet louvers of
alternator.

should be handled by your nearest
authorized engine service firm. Check the
