Check GFCI
(if equipped)
Once a month, test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to
protect against electrical shock due to failure of the GFCI.
(Only for
those models equipped with GFCI.)
To test the GFCI:
1.
Depress the TEST button. The RESET button should extend from the
receptacle. If the RESET button does not extend, contact Northern Tool
for replacement parts.
2.
Restore power to the GFCI by firmly pressing the RESET button back
into the receptacle until an audible click is heard.
Clean & inspect
spark arrestor
(if equipped)
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor muffler
If the engine is equipped with a spark arrester muffler, clean and inspect it
regularly (follow manufacturer’s service instructions). Replace if damaged.
Keep generator
clean
Keep generator clean.
If dust or debris accumulates on the generator, clean the generator with a
damp cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not allow air intakes to become blocked.
Note: Do not spray generator with a garden hose or pressure washer.
Water may enter the generator and cause damage to the rotor, stator, or
internal windings.
Recharge and
maintain battery
(if electric start)
Inspect, recharge, and maintain your battery according to your battery
manufacturer’s instructions.
(Only for those models equipped with electric
start.)
Do not store with battery charger always connected. Batteries that are over-
charged can boil themselves dry and produce excessive amounts of hydrogen,
an explosive gas.
IMPORTANT:
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Replace-
ment parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the
generator.
