OPERATOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
cartridge. Reassemble cover and screw down
tight.
Replace the cartridge included with Dual Element Air
Cleaner yearly or every 100 hours. Service more often if
necessary.
5. Spark Plug - Clean and reset gap at .030" every 100
hours of operation. Do not blast clean spark plug. Clean
by scraping or wire brushing and washing with a
commercial solvent. Poor spark will occur if terminal does
not fit firmly on spark plug. If this happens reform the
terminal to fit firmly on spark plug tip.
LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
Briggs & Stratton powered generators - These engine
generator sets come equipped standard with the Briggs &
Stratton OILGARD warning system.
This low oil warning system will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level reaches an operational danger
point. This feature is designed to prevent costly repairs
and downtime.
The OILGARD system uses a float in the engine crankcase to
sense the oil level. If a low oil level condition should occur
during operation, the float will ground out the magneto
impulse, “killing” the engine. In addition, there is an
indicator light mounted on the engine shroud near the
recoil starter. This light will blink on and off to indicate a low
oil level condition when you are attempting to start the unit.
To get the engine started, you must add the required
amount of oil to the engine crankcase.
Use of the OILGARD system on applications that are subject
to shock, bumping or severe angles of operation (in excess
of 15 degrees) should be avoided. This is especially true if
an unexpected shutdown would cause a safety hazard or
serious inconvenience for the operator. To disable the
OILGARD, remove the wire attached to the sensor unit
mounted on the engine crankcase. The wire should be
insulated with a connector or tape.
Honda powered generators - These engine generator sets
come equipped standard with the Honda Oil Alert System.
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent damage caused
by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the
oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil
Alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the
engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the Oil Alert system shuts down the engine, the Oil Alert
lamp will flash when you operated the starter, and the
engine will not run. If this occurs, check the engine oil level.
GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is
necessary to insure a long trouble free life.
1. Exercising The Generator - The generator should be
operated every three to four weeks. It should be operated
for a period of time sufficient to warm the unit up and to
dry out any moisture that has accumulated in the
windings. If left, this moisture can cause corrosion in the
winding. Frequent operation of the engine generator set
will also insure that the set is operating properly should it
be needed in an emergency.
2. Generator Maintenance - Any major generator service
including the installation or replacement of parts should
be performed only by a qualified electrical service
technician. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED REPAIR
PARTS.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these
generators is a heavy duty double sealed ball
bearing. They require no maintenance or
lubrication.
b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have
been utilized. If a receptacle should become
cracked
or otherwise damaged, replace it.
Using damaged or cracked receptacles can be
both
dangerous to the operator and
destructive to
the
