  Engine Oil  SAE 10W30  Capacity:  10   oz.  

l

  Be sure no foreign material enters the crankcase.  

l

  Do not tilt the generator when adding engine oil. This could result in overfilling 

and damage to the engine 

l

  Clean the oil filter every other 100 hr.  

WASHABLE AIR FILTER 

Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very 
important. Dirt induced through improperly installed, 
improperly serviced, or inadequate elements damages 
and wears out engines. Keep the element always 
clean. 

1.  Remove the cover. 

2.  Remove the air filter cover and element. 

3.  Wash the element in solvent and dry. 

4.  Oil the element and squeeze out excess oil. The 

element should be wet but not dripping. 

5.  Insert the element into the air filter. 

6.  Install the cover. 

The engine should never run without the Filter; excessive piston and/or cylinder 
wear may result.  

CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG 

1.  Remove the cover.  
2.  Check for discoloration and remove the carbon. 
3.  Check the spark plug type and gap. 
Standard Spark Plug: 

CMR6A

 

Spark Plug Gap: 0.6-0.7 mm (0.024-0.028 in) 
4.  Install the spark plug. 
5.  Install the cover
