MAINTENANCE 

 
Periodic maintenance and adjustment is necessary to keep the generator in good 
operating condition.  Perform the service and inspection at the intervals shown in 
the Maintenance schedule below.

off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must be run, 
make sure the area is well ventilated.

maintenance  or  repair.  Replacement  parts  which  are  not  of  equivalent 
quality may damage the generator.
