Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance
WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR POWER SWITCH IS IN ITS
“STOP" POSITION. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM THE ENGINE AND
ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE ENGINE AND GENERATOR TO COMPLETELY
COOL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, OR CLEANING.
• Before each use, inspect the generator. Check for:
- Loose screws
- Misaligned or binding moving parts
- Cracked or broken parts
- Damaged electrical wiring, or
- Any other condition that may affect safe operation.
• If an engine problem occurs, have it checked by a qualified service technician before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
• Before each use, make sure the engine's oil and gas levels are adequate. If necessary, fill the
crankcase until the oil level is even with the oil fill hole or at the upper level on the oil level cap.
Also fill the gas tank with gas until the fuel gauge shows full.
• Before each use, remove all debris with a soft brush, rag, or vacuum.
• Lubricate all moving parts using premium quality and lightweight machine oil.
• Every 20 hours of use, drain old engine oil and
replace with approximately ¾ quart of high quality
SAE 10W-30 grade engine oil. DO NOT
OVERFILL OIL.
• Every 300 hours of use, have a qualified and
certified technician perform thorough maintenance
on the generator and engine.
• For long term storage, either drain fuel into a
suitable container or add a fuel
preservative/stabilizer (not included) to prevent
fuel breakdown.
