Maintenance & Repair (cont’d)
To test the RCD:
1. Depress the TEST button. The RESET button should
extend from the receptacle. If the RESET button does not
extend, contact your place of purchase for replacement
parts.
2. Restore power to the RCD by firmly pressing the RESET
button back into the receptacle until an audible click is
heard.
Clean & inspect
spark arrestor
(if equipped)
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor muffler.
(Only for those models equipped with a spark arrestor – See the
“Specifications” section.) If the engine is equipped with a spark
arrester muffler, clean and inspect it regularly (follow
manufacturer’s service instructions). Replace if damaged.
Keep generator clean.
If dust or debris accumulates on the generator, clean the generator
with a damp cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not allow air intakes to
become blocked.
Note: Do not spray generator with a garden hose or pressure
washer. Water may enter the generator and cause damage to
the rotor, stator, or internal windings.
Recharge and
maintain battery
(if electric start)
Inspect, recharge, and maintain your battery according to
your battery manufacturer’s instructions.
(Only for those models equipped with electric start.)
Do not store with battery charger always connected. Batteries that
are overcharged can boil themselves dry and produce excessive
amounts of hydrogen, an explosive gas.
IMPORTANT:
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor
operation of the generator.
Contact your place of purchase for any questions, problems, or parts
orders.
