Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning
The fuel filter cup is a small well
underneath the fuel valve. It
helps to trap dirt and water that
may be in your fuel tank before
it can enter the engine. To clean
the fuel filter cup.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the "off"
position.
2. Unscrew the fuel filter cup
from the fuel valve using a
wrench. Turn the valve toward
you to unscrew (see figure K).
3. Clean the cup of all sediment
using a rag or brush.
4. Reinstall the fuel filter cup.
Spark Plug Maintenance
The spark plug is important for
proper engine operation. A
good spark plug should be
intact, free of deposits, and
properly gapped. To inspect
your spark plug:
1. Pull on the spark plug cap to
remove it.
2. Unscrew the spark plug from
the generator using the spark
plug wrench included with this
product (see figure L).
Visually inspect the spark plug.
If it is cracked or chipped,
discard and replace with a new
spark plug. Measure the plug
gap with a gauge (see figure M).
The gap should be (0.028-
0.031in.).
3. If you are re-using the spark
plug, use a wire brush to clean
any dirt from around the spark
plug base and then re-gap the
spark plug.
4. Screw the spark plug back
into its place on the generator
using the spark plug wrench.
Replace the spark plug cap.
Emptying the Gas Tank

extended periods of time, you
should drain your generator of
gasoline. To drain the generator
of gas:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the "off"
position.
2. Remove the fuel filter cup
(see "Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning"
earlier in this section).
3. Empty the fuel filter cup of
any fuel.
4. With a receptacle underneath
the generator to catch the gas,
turn the fuel valve to the "on"
position. Drain all the gas from
the generator.
5. Turn the fuel valve to the "off"
position.
6. Replace the fuel filter cup.
7. Store the emptied gasoline in
a suitable place.drain. Please
