Spark Plugs
To assure the motor runs properly the spark plug should be
clear and free of residue.
When the motor is running the muffler get
considerably hot. Be Careful! Do not touch the muffler.
Never use gasoline to clean the air filter. It
could cause explosion or fire. Never start the generator without
the air filter. The motor will wear out faster.
Fuel filter in the stopcock
The fuel filter stops water or dust in the fuel tank getting
into the carburetor. If the motor has been shut off for a long
time, the sediments container should be clean (Figure 11).
1. Stop the motor.
2. Turn the fuel stopcock into the OFF (closed) position.
3. Remove filter.
4. Remove sediments. Thoroughly clean container and air
filter. Dry.
5. Double-check the seal is in place. Reset the sediments
container and the fuel filter.
After installing the sediments container
verify there is no fuel leak or spillage. Verify the area
is dry before starting the motor.
Maintenance
3. Soak cartridge in clean SAE-20 motor oil.
4. Wring filter to eliminate excessive oil. If you leave too
much oil in the cartridge the motor could release smoke
when started.
5. Install cartridge into the air filter container and set the
cover back into place.

1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clean any residue found in the
spark plug base.
3. Unscrew the spark plug with a
spark plug wrench.
4. Visually check the spark plug.
Remove if the insulation is broken
or chipped. Clean the spark plug
with a brush if still usable.
5. With a spark plug gauge,
measure the gap between both
electrodes. The distance between
the center electrode and the lateral
electrode should measure between
0,0276” and 0,0315”
6. Check the washer is in in good
shape. Insert the spark plug
manually to prevent a misaligned
position.
7. After setting the spark plug adjust
with a spark plug wrench to press
the washer.
When installing a new spark plug tighten up to half
a turn after the spark plug is in place and can press down
the washer. If installing a used spark plug, tighten up to
1/8 - ¼ turn after the spark plug is in place and the washer
can be pressed.
The spark plug should be correctly
adjusted. If not well adjusted the spark plug could overheat
and damage the motor. Never use spark plugs with an
inadequate heat level. Use only adequate or equivalent
spark plugs.
Transport and storage
When moving the generator shut off the
motor and the fuel valve. Keep the motor leveled to prevent
fuel spillage. Vapor produced by the fuel or its spillage
could cause explosion.
