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 the 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.

3. Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or chipped, discard and replace with a new

spark plug.

4. Measure the plug gap with a gauge (see figure 10). The gap should be 0.7-0.8mm (0.028-

0.031in).

5. 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.

6. Screw the spark plug back into its place on the generator using the spark plug wrench. Do

not over-tighten spark plug. Recommended tightening of spark plug is ½ to ¾ of a turn

after spark plug gasket contacts spark plug hole. Reinstall the spark plug cap.

Draining the Fuel Tank

Clean fuel tank each year or before storing the generator for extended periods of time. To drain the

fuel tank and carburetor:

1. Turn the fuel valve to the “off” position.

2. Remove the four (4) bolts holding the fuel tank onto the generator frame.

3. Lift the fuel tank and rotate it so as to clear the tank from the generator frame. The fuel valve

should be visible. Place a container under the fuel valve to catch fuel when the fuel line is

disconnected.
