3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the generator
as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the maintenance section of this manual should
be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in
the “maintenance schedule”.
Once a year replace the spark plug and
replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter
assure proper fuel-air mixture and help the engine run better
and last longer.
3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry.
Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will
not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become
clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on
its exterior surface.
Never insert any object or tool through the
air cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.
Do not use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter the engine fuel system and cause problems.
In addition, if water enters the generator through cooling air
slots, come water will be retained in voids and crevices of
the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
