GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the generator does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or negli-
gence. To receive full value from the warranty, opera-
tor must maintain the generator as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
maintain your generator.
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all
times. The generator should not be stored or oper-
ated in environments that include excessive moisture,
dust or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are
on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle
brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with
water pressure to clean the generator. Water may
enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage
the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the
generator head.
All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this
manual should be made at least once each season.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Maintenance, replacement or repair of
the emission control devices and systems may be
performed by any nonroad engine repair establish-
ment or individual. However, to obtain no charge
repairs under the terms and provisions of the
engine manufacturers warranty statement, any
service or emission control part repair or replace-
ment must be performed by a factory authorized
dealer.
Oil
•
Oil level should be checked prior to each use and
at least every 5 hours of operation. To check oil
see Adding Engine Oil paragraph in the Operation
section on page 13.
Changing Engine Oil
For a new engine, change oil after the first 2 operating
hours. Thereafter, change oil after every 50 hours of
operation.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil
will flow freely and carry away more impurities. Make
sure the engine is level when filling, checking or
changing oil.
Change the oil as follows:
•
To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc. out of the
engine, clean the area around the drain plug and
dipstickbefore removing it.
•
Remove the oil drain plug and dipstick. Tilt the
engine slightly towards the oil drain to obtain
better drainage. Be sure to allow ample time for
complete drainage.
•
Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened
securely.
•
Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type
(See Adding Engine Oil in the Operation Section),
to the Full mark on the dipstick. Always check the
level with the dipstick before adding more oil.
•
Reinstall the oil fill cap or plug and tighten se-
curely.
