MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Never clean the generator when it is running! Never clean with a bucket of water or a
hose. Water can get inside the working parts of the generator and cause corrosion or a short circuit.
Keep the generator clean to prevent improper operation or machine damage from dirt and debris. Inspect all
ventilation openings on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
If the generator becomes dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces. Use a soft bristle brush to loosen
dirt and oil and use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt. Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 PSI) to blow
away dirt.
CLEANING THE GENERATOR
We recommend draining the carburetor after every use and before storing the generator. Draining the
carburetor can help prevent build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor.
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
1. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container under
the carburetor to collect the drained fuel.
2. The carburetor (Fig. 18 - 1) can be accessed from the
backside of the generator between the engine and the air
filter. To drain the carburetor, open up the carburetor drain
screw with a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included) and
drain out any gasoline that has built up inside.
3. Once the fuel has drained, close the drain screw.
NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor before storing
the generator for long periods of time.
