WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower
than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the
engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally
supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating the
engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude
may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.

Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean, dry
operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme
conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.

Cleaning the Generator
CAUTION
DO NOT spray generator directly with water.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and
damage the generator windings. It can also contaminate the
fuel system.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
2. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
3. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from
the generator.
4. Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are
clean and unobstructed.
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground the spark plug
wire before performing any service.
