1. CHANGING OIL
Drain the oil the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
(1) Remove the oil filler cap and oil drain plug to drain the oil.
(2) Install the oil drain plug, and tighten it securely.
(3) Refill with the recommended oil, and check the oil level.
(4) Reinstall the oil filler cap and tighten it securely.
Engine oil capacity: 0.6L
Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that
is compatible with the environment. We suggest
you take it in a sealed container to your local
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in
the trash or pour it on the ground.
2. AIR CLEANER SERVICE
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
Never run the generator without the air cleaner.
Rapid engine wear may result.
(1) Unsnap the clips, remove the air cleaner cover.
(2) If the paper element is dirty, replace it with a new one. Do not clean the paper
element. If the rubber housing is brittle or distorted or the element does not
completely seal inside the cover, replace the element.
(3) Reinstall the air cleaner cover.

3. FUEL SEDIMENT CUP SERVICE
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow
flames or sparks in the area.
The filter prevents dirt or water which may be in the fuel tank from entering the
carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the filter should be
cleaned.
(1) Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
(2) Remove the sediment cup by turning it counterclockwise.
(3) Clean the cup and filter thoroughly.
(4) Reassemble. Do not damage the O-ring.
After installing the sediment cup, be sure to tighter
it securely. Check for fuel leaks and make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
4. SPARK PLUG SERVICE (See Fig 7)
RECOMMENDED SPARK PLUG: F6RTC
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and
free of deposits.
(1) Remove the spark plug cap.
(2) Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
4. Visually inspect the plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped.
Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused.
5. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge.
The gap should be 0.70-0.80mm (0.028-0.031in). Correct as necessary by
carefully bending the side electrode. (See Fig8)
6. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
7. After a new spark plug has been seated by hand ,it should be tightened 1/2turn
8. Reinstall the spark plug cap on the spark plug securely.
