3.5 FUEL FILTER
(GASOLINE ONLY)
Remove and replace the fuel filter (Figure 3.5) every 400 hours of
operation.
Figure 3.5 – Fuel Filter
3.6 CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect and
clean the screen every 200 hours of operation or once each year,
whichever comes first.
NOTE:
If using the generator on any forest-covered, brush-
covered or grass-covered unimproved land, it must
equipped with a spark arrestor. The spark arrestor
must be maintained in good condition by the owner/
operator.
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:
Remove the screen by removing the screw. •
Slide the spark arrestor screen out from the tail pipe. •
Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise •
damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not
damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.
Replace the screen and the screw. •

3.7 CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep the generator set as clean and dry as possible. Protect the
unit against excessive dust, dirt, corrosive vapors, road splash,
etc. Permitting dirt and moisture to accumulate on generator
windings will have an adverse effect on the insulation resistance
of those windings.
When moisture is allowed to remain in contact with windings,
some of the moisture will be retained in voids and cracks in the
insulation. This causes a reduced insulation resistance and will
eventually cause problems. Dirt will make the problem worse,
since dirt tends to hold moisture in contact with windings. Salt (as
from sea air) also will worsen the problem since it tends to absorb
moisture from the air. Salt and moisture, when combined, form a
good electrical conductor which is detrimental to the generator.

Do NOT use a forceful spray of water to clean
the generator. Water will enter the generator
interior and cause problems, and may also con-
taminate the generator fuel system.
3.8 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
This generator is not equipped with an internal bat-
tery charger. It is intended for use in systems where
an external battery charger is installed by the RV
O.E.M. or an aftermarket installer.
All lead-acid batteries will discharge when not in use. The generator
battery should be inspected as follows:
3.8.1 WEEKLY
‹
Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corro- •
sion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if nec- •
essary, fill with Distilled Water Only. Do not use tap water in
batteries.
3.8.2 EVERY SIX MONTHS
‹
Have the state of charge and condition checked. This should be •
done with an automotive-type battery hydrometer.
NOTE:
Servicing of the battery is to be performed or super-
vised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and
the required precautions. Keep unauthorized person-
nel away from batteries.
Damage will result if the battery connections are
made in reverse.
