2.

Remove the screw that secures the spark arrester and remove the spark arrestor from the muffler.

3.

Clean and remove carbon deposits from spark arrester with a wire brush.  Be careful not to damage the
fine mesh screen material.  Replace spark arrester if damaged (breaks or holes).

4.

Install spark arrester in muffler and secure with screw.

5.

Install muffler cover and secure with flange bolts.

Cleaning

Keeping the generator clean is an important part of good operation.  If dirt buildup is not

removed, the generator will run hotter than normal and it’s life is reduced.  The following are

general guidelines for cleaning.

1.

Clean the generator set and remove any and all dust, dirt, or other foreign material.

2.

Inspect and clean the cooling air intake and exhaust louvers of the generator end.

Make sure they are clean.  Remove dirt or any buildup that may restrict the cooling air

flow.

3.

Clean the generator set and its components with a damp cloth or sponge.  

Never use a water hose or pressure washer as this may damage electrical

components.

4.

Inspect and replace any control panel components that are broken or not working

properly (receptacles, circuit breakers, switches, etc.)

5.

Inspect and clean all governor and carburetor linkages so they operate properly.
