GENERATOR

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR 

Proper care for your generator is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free operation. It 

will also reduce pollution. For all maintenance and repair instructions, please read the following 

information.

!

 

WARNING

ALWAYS shut off the generator, disconnect the spark plug, disconnect the battery 
(negative cable first, then positive cable second),  and discharge the capacitor 
before cleaning, adjusting, or servicing the engine. 
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can 
cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.

SAFETY

Follow these safety rules whenever you service the generator: 

 

•

Turn off generator

. Always turn off generator and remove spark plug(s) or spark plug 

wire(s) before working on the engine or generator to prevent accidental starting. 

 

•

Replace guards

. Make sure all guards and shields are replaced after servicing the 

generator. 

 

•

Repair.

 Major service, including the installation or replacement of parts, should be 

performed only by a qualified electrical service technician. Obtain factory approved parts.

 

•

Replacement parts

. If a part needs replacement, only use factory approved repair parts. 

Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor 

operation of the generator and will void the warranty.

!

 

CAUTION

Be careful not to touch the muffler during or just after the engine has been 
running.

INSPECT FUEL SYSTEM/CHECK FOR LEAKS

Inspect the fuel system and check for leaks on a regular basis. Look for signs of leaks or 

deterioration, chafed or spongy fuel hose, loose connections, loose or missing fuel hose clamps, 

damaged petrol tank or defective shut-off valve. 

CLEAN & INSPECT SPARK ARRESTER 

Depending on the fuel used, the type and the amount 

of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the 

exhaust part and muffler may become blocked with carbon 

deposits. If you notice power loss, you may need to remove 

these deposits to restore performance. 

 

•

Allow the engine to cool complete before servicing the 

spark arrester.

 

•

Remove the spark arrester, check and clean with a wire 

brush.

 

•

Replace spark arrester if it’s damaged.

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.
