Engine Maintenance
Regular maintenance will improve performance and
extend engine/equipment life. BALDR INTERNATIONAL
LLC. recommends that all maintenance work be
performed by an Independent Authorized Service Dealer
(IASD). Regular maintenance, replacement or repair of
the emissions control devices and systems may be
performed by any repair shop or person of the owner’s
choosing. However, to obtain emissions control
warranty service free of charge, the work must be
performed by an IASD. See the emissions warranty.
NOTE: Call BALDR INTERNATIONAL LLC customer
service at +1 (855)801-0798 with questions about
component replacement.
Preventive Maintenance
Dirt or debris can cause improper operation
and equipment damage. Clean generator
daily or before each use. Keep area around
and behind muffler free from combustible
debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on
generator.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces
clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi)
may be used to blow away dirt. Inspect
cooling air slots and openings on generator.
These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
NOTE : DO NOT use a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter engine fuel system
and cause problems. If water enters generator
through cooling air slots, some water will be
retained in voids and crevices of rotor and stator
winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup
on generator internal windings will decrease
insulation resistance of windings.
Follow maintenance schedule intervals,
whichever occurs first according to use.
NOTE : Adverse conditions will require more
frequent service.
NOTE : All required service and adjustments
should be each season as detailed in the following
chart.
To maintain the product warranty, the engine
oil should be serviced in accordance with the
recommendations of this manual. For your
convenience, maintenance kits designed and
intended for use on this product are available
from the manufacturer that include engine oil,
oil filter, air filter, spark plug(s), a shop towel
and funnel. These kits can be obtained from
an Independent Authorized Service Dealer
(IASD).
WARNING
Do not insert any object through the air cooling slots.
Generator can start at any time and could result in
death, serious injury, and unit damage.
WARNING
Accidental start-up. Disconnect spark plug wires when
working on unit. Failure to do so could result in death
