Spark Arrester Cleaning
The spark arrester must be serviced every 50
hours to function as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler
will be too hot to repair. Let the muffler cool
completely before servicing the spark arrester.
Cleaning procedure
• Locate the two screws at the rear of the muffler that holds the spark
arrester in the muffler.
• Remove screws and spark arrester screen
• Lightly brush the screen with a wire brush to remove carbon deposits.
• Take care not to damage the screen. If the screen is torn or damaged, it
must be replaced.
• Install the spark arrester in the reverse order
STORAGE
Following proper storage preparation procedures will help keep your generator
trouble-free. Reference the steps listed below before storing your generator.
Cleaning before storage
Wipe the generator with a damp cloth to clean any dirt or debris that may have
been collected. Then, allow it to air dry.
Draining the gas tank
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. In addition, old gasoline will
cause hard starting and can leave deposits that will clog the carburetor, fuel
tank, and fuel lines. If this happens in your generator, you may need to have the
fuel system components serviced or replaced.
The length of time you can leave gasoline in your generator depends on several
factors. Gasoline blend, storage temperature, and even how much fuel is in the
tank can accelerate deterioration. For example, warm storage will accelerate
gasoline deterioration to just a few months. Less if the gasoline was not fresh
when you filled the tank.
