Cleaning the Generator
CAUTION
DO NOT spray generator directly with water.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and
damage the generator windings. It can also contaminate the
fuel system.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
2. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
3. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from
the generator.
4. Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are
clean and unobstructed.
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground the spark plug
wire before performing any service.
Changing the Engine Oil
Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification
to select the proper grade for your operating environment.
1. Place the generator on a flat level surface.
2. Turn the oil access cover fastener to the unlocked position
and remove the cover.
3. Remove the oil drain plug by turning it counter clockwise.
4. Ensure the oil drain hose is lower than the engine and allow
the oil to drain completely into an appropriate container.
5. Replace the oil drain plug.
6. Add oil according to Add Engine Oil in Assembly section.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Oil not included for routine maintenance.
7. Dispose of used oil at an approved waste management
facility.
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. If using the
dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while
checking.
Cleaning and Adjusting the Spark Plug
1. Remove the non recoil side maintenance cover by removing
the two screws with a phillips head screw driver (included).
2. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
3. Use a spark plug socket tool (included), or a
13/16 in. (21 mm) socket (not included) to remove the plug.
4. Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean and not
worn to produce the spark required for ignition.
5. Make certain the spark plug gap is
0.028-0.031 in. (0.7-0.8 mm).
