MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
WARNING
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Shut off the engine
before performing any maintenance. If the engine must be run, make sure
the area is well-ventilated.
Periodic maintenance and adjustment is necessary to keep the generator
in good operating condition. Perform the service and inspection at the
intervals shown in the maintenance schedule below.

1. Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
2. These items should be serviced by an authorized generator dealer unless
the owner has proper tools and is mechanically proficient.
3. For professional commercial use, log hours of operation to determine
proper maintenance intervals
WARNING
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation,
can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you
operate your generator under severe conditions, such as sustained high-
load or high-temperature operation, or use it in unusually wet or dusty
conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable
to your individual needs and use.
Engine oil change:
Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure complete and rapid
draining.
1. Remove the drain plug and sealing washer4, oil filler cap, and drain the
oil.
2. Reinstall the drain plug and sealing washer. Tighten the plug securely.
3. Refill with the recommended oil and check the oil level.

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.
WARNING
Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can cause a
fire or explosion. Use only soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
NOTICE
Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result.
1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover dips, remove the air cleaner cover, and
remove the element.
2. Wash the element in a solution of household Detergent, and warm water,
then rinse thoroughly; or wash in nonflammable or high flash point solvent.
Allow element to dry thoroughly.
3. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the
element.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.

Fuel Sediment Cup Cleaning:
The sediment cup prevents dirty water which may be in the fuel tank from
entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the
sediment cup should be cleaned.
1. Turn the fuel valve to OFF position.
2. Remove the sediment cup, and O-ring.
3. Clean the sediment cup and O-ring in nonflammable or high flash point
solvent.
4. Reinstall O-ring and sediment cup.
5. Turn the fuel valve ON and check for leaks.

Spark Plug Service:
Recommended spark plugs: F5T or F6TC or F7TJC or other equivalents
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped
and free of deposits.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not
to touch the muffler.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use the wrench supplied in the tool kit to remove the spark plug.
4. Visually inspect the spark 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. Correct as necessary by
carefully banding side electrode.
The gap should be: 0.70-0.60 mm (0.026-0.031 in).
6. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition, and thread the
spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.
7. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to
compress the washer.
