1. Before service, maintenance, or cleaning:
a. Unplug all devices from the generator.
b. Turn the Combination Switch to its “OFF” position.
c. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
d. Allow the engine to completely cool.
e. Then, remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
2. Keep all safety guards in place and in proper working order. Safety guards include
muffler, air cleaner, mechanical guards, and heat shields, among other guards.
3. Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry.
Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked, cut, abraded, or otherwise degraded. Replace
terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
4. Do not alter or adjust any part of the equipment or its engine that is sealed
by the manufacturer or distributor. Only a qualified service technician may
adjust parts that may increase or decrease governed engine speed.
5. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and
dust mask/respirator during service.
6. Maintain labels and nameplates on the equipment.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
7. Have the equipment serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the equipment is maintained. Do not attempt
any service or maintenance procedures not explained in this manual or any procedures
that you are uncertain about your ability to perform safely or correctly.
8. Store equipment out of the reach of children.
9. Follow scheduled engine and equipment maintenance.
Refueling:
1. Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
2. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition
around the equipment, especially when refuelling.
3. Do not fill fuel tank to the top.
Leave a little room for the fuel to expand as needed.
4. Refuel in a well-ventilated area only.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess to evaporate before starting engine.
To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
