Maintenance
WARNING: Before cleaning, inspecting, repairing, refueling or performing any maintenance to the
generator set, always be sure the engine has stopped and that all rotating parts have also
stopped. After stopping, certain components are still extremely hot so be careful not to get
burned.
WARNING: Before servicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the spark plug wires to prevent
accidental engine rotation or starting.
WARNING: Inspect all wiring frequently and replace any damaged, broken or frayed wiring or wires with
damaged insulation immediately. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Disconnect all electrical wires and load devices from generator power outlets before servicing
the generator. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Always treat electrical
circuits as if they are energized.
WARNING: Check fuel tank, fuel line, and connections monthly for fuel leaks. Gasoline is flammable and
can cause fire, explosions, injury or death. If a leak is found, replace only with approved pipe
or components.
WARNING: Never store an engine with fuel in its tank indoors or in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area
where gasoline fumes could reach an ignition source and cause an explosion.
Caution Statements
Caution:
The brass connecting tab on some 120VAC duplex receptacles have been removed. Each
receptacle is powered by a separate generator winding. When replacing a receptacle, inspect
the brass tab that normally links both receptacles. If it is removed, be sure to remove the
brass tab from the replacement receptacle before it is installed. Failure to remove the tab will
cause a direct short to the generator windings and cause possible generator damage.
Caution:
Avoid installing the generator set beside heat generating equipment, or directly below water
or steam pipes or in the vicinity of corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.
Heat can cause engine problems to develop and unwanted substances can cause rust or
generator failure over time.
Caution:
Do not apply high voltage to windings (start the generator) in a moisture
−
saturated condition.
Moisture can cause insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return the generator to the
factory for repair, and consequent expense and loss of time.
Caution:
Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Using the correct parts will
assure continued safe operation as designed.
Caution:
Do not suspend the generator from the top handle during operation.
Caution:
Do not tamper with or change the engine speed. Engine speed is factory set to produce the
correct voltage and output frequency.
Caution:
Never operate the engine without a muffler and spark arrestor. The engine is designed to
have the correct exhaust components installed. Operating without these components can
present a fire hazard, cause excessive exhaust gases and cause damage to engine.
Caution:
Operate the generator only on a level surface. Operation of the generator on an incline or
slope may degrade engine lubrication and result in engine failure.
Caution:
Always fill fuel tank with clean fresh fuel before use. Never leave fuel in tank for long storage
periods. Old fuel becomes stale and can damage the fuel system causing the engine not to
start. Always drain the fuel tank after use before storage.
Caution:
For electric start models, do not place the key switch in the start position when engine is
running. This causes the starting motor to engage and may damage the starter and engine.
