Install the Spark Arrester
Insert the spark arrester screen into the
muffler outlet. Secure the spark arrester by
placing the cover plate over the end of the
screen, with the lettering facing outward.
Secure the cover plate with the two screws
and lock washers provided with the spark
arrester kit.
NOTE
Federal and local laws and administrative
requirements indicate when and where spark
arresters are required. When ordered, spark
arresters are required for operation of this
generator in National Forest lands. In California,
this generator must not be used on any forest-
covered land, brush-covered land, or grass-
covered land unless the engine is equipped with
a spark arrester.
CAUTION
Failure to install the spark arrester may result in
an increased risk of fire.
Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly filled with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Damage
to the generator as a result of failure to follow
these instructions will void your warranty.

surface.

conditions.

needed.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low-oil-shutoff and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer
to the Maintenance section for recommended
service intervals.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated
ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication
for the life of the bearing.

with a minimum octane rating of 85.
