** Maximum wattage is subject to, and limited by, such factors as fuel energy content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine condition, etc.
Maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and will also decrease about 1% for each 6° C (10° F) above
16°C (60° F) ambient temperature.
3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain
the generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the “Maintenance Schedule”.
NOTICE: Once a year replace the spark plug and replace the air lter. A new spark plug and clean air lter
assure proper fuel-air mixture and help the engine run better and last longer.
3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the
unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, mois-
ture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged
with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or
other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface.
CAUTION!
Never insert any object or tool through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is
not running.
NOTICE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter the engine fuel system and cause
problems. In addition, if water enters the generator through cooling air slots, some water will be retained in
voids and crevices of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal
windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
3.3.2 TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling
air slots and openings on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and unob-
structed.
