AIR FILTER, SERIOUS DANGER CAN RESULT.
Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine.
Check for and correct heavy buildup of dirt and debris along
with loose or damaged components.
1. Unscrew the air cleaner cover and remove the elements.
2. Clean the element:
PAPER AIR CLEANER ELEMENT: Do not wash the paper
element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the
element. Clean by gently tapping the element to remove
dust. Replace the element if damaged, bent or extremely
dirty. Handle new element carefully; do not use if the sealing
surfaces are bent or damaged.
NOTE: Replace the paper element every 100 hours
(more often under extremely dusty conditions.)
3. Reinstall the paper air cleaner element. Close air cleaner
cover and screw shut.
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION COMPONENTS:
The unit you have purchased includes the following
components that are in compliance with California Air
Resources Board Evaporative Emission Standards;
1. Fuel Hose
2. Fuel Hose Fittings
3. Fuel Tank and Cap
4. Carbon Canister and Mounting Brackets
These components should be inspected on a daily basis
for cracks, leaks, and abnormal wear. If cracking, leaks or
abnormal wear has occurred, the components should be
replaced immediately.
IDLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT:
NOTE:
The automatic idle speed is set between 2640 and
2940 RPM.
The idle speed has been pre-set at the factory and
should rarely require readjustment. We recommend that
all adjustments of this nature be made by a Customer
Service Representative.
Erratic idle operation of the engine usually indicates a need
for carburetor adjustment to provide a smooth idle. The idle
control will not function properly when the idle speed is below
the recommended limits or the carburetor is improperly
adjusted.
HAVE THE UNIT SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED
