MAINTENANCE & CARE
CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Never clean the generator when it is running! Never clean with a bucket of water or a hose. Water can get inside
the working parts of the generator and cause corrosion or a short circuit.
Always try to use the generator in a cool, dry place. If the generator becomes dirty, clean the exterior with a damp
cloth, a soft brush, a vacuum or pressurized air.
CHECKING THE OIL
Check the oil level of the generator according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Fig. 9. The genera-
tor is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from running on low oil. The generator should be checked
before each use for proper oil level. This is a critical step for proper engine starting. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Access the oil plug by removing the lefthand side panel using a
Phillip’s head screwdriver.
2. Remove the oil plug and check the oil level.
3. If oil level is below the second thread from the lip of the oil fill opening, slowly add oil until the engine crank-
case is filled. Use a funnel for maximum efficiency.
4. Reinstall and tighten oil cap and side panel before starting the engine.
