Operating Guide

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Proper routine maintenance of your generator is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free

operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.

Maintenance Schedule

Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its

designed purpose. Sustained high-load, high temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or

dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.

WARNING: Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can

cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously injured or killed. Always follow the

inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this instruction manual.

● Make sure the engine is o before you begin any maintenance or repairs.

● Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

● To reduce the possibility of re or explosion, be careful when working around

gasoline. Use only a nonammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep

cigarettes, sparks, and ames away from all fuel related parts.
