6,500W Gasoline Generator with Electric Start
V1.0
NOTICE! When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air fuel mixture
will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 ft (1,524 m) may cause
the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. When using this engine at low
altitudes, have a qualified technician return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
CLEANING THE SEDIMENT CUP
CAUTION! Wear latex or rubber gloves when working on the sediment cup. The cup may contain
fuel that will cause skin irritation. Prolonged and repeated
exposure to fuel on skin may result in dry, cracked skin.
1. Switch the fuel valve to the OFF position (Fig. 8-1).
2. Remove the fuel sediment cup (Fig. 8-4), filter
(Fig. 8-2) and o-ring (Fig. 8-3).
3. Clean the sediment cup with a non-flammable solvent
or detergent and rinse. Allow to dry.
3.1 Some chemicals will damage the o-ring
material. Check for compatibility or simply
replace the o-ring.
4. Reassemble the sediment cup and o-ring.
5. Switch the fuel valve to the ON position and check for
leaks. Replace the o-ring if the installation is correct,
but fuel still leaks from the cup.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen.
Control of these emissions is very important for personal and environmental health.
The following instructions must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your engine within
Canadian emission standards.
1. Do not remove or alter any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.
2. Do not alter or bypass the governor linkage or speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the engine
to operate outside its design specifications.
PROBLEMS THAT MAY AFFECT EMISSIONS
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by a
qualified technician.
1. Hard starting or stalling after starting.
2. Rough idle.
3. Misfiring or backfiring under load.
4. Afterburning (backfiring)
5. Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The emission control systems on your engine were designed, built, and certified to conform to
Canadian emission regulations. The use of genuine parts is recommended whenever maintenance is
done to the engine. Genuine replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the
original parts. Using replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair
the effectiveness of your emission control system.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of an aftermarket part to certify that use of the part will
not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. Charge batteries in a designated, well-ventilated area to avoid gas buildup.
2. Charge the battery at rates recommended by the manufacturer.
