FUEL SEDIMENT CUP CLEANING
The sediment cup prevents dirt and water that may be in the fuel tank
from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been running for
a long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned.
1. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. Remove the
sediment cup, O-ring, and filter.
2. Clean the sediment cup, O-ring, and filter in nonflammable
or high flash point solvent.
3. Reinstall the filter, O-ring, and sediment cup.
4. Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position and check for leaks.
SPARK PLUG SERVICE
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly
gapped and free of deposits. If the engine has been running, the muffler
will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
4. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is
cracked, chipped, or fouled.
5. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. If necessary, correct
the gap by carefully bending the side electrode.
NOTE: The gap should be: 0.028 to 0.031 in. (0.70 to 0.80 mm).
6. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition, and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent
cross threading.
7. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer.
NOTE: If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer. If
reinstalling a used spark plug, tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
WARNING! The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug can become very
hot and could damage the engine. Never use spark plugs that have an improper heat range.
SPARK ARRESTER MAINTENANCE
If the generator has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding.
WARNING! The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to maintain its efficiency.
Clean the spark arrester as follows:
1. Loosen the screw next to the exhaust port of the muffler and remove the spark arrester.
2. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen. Inspect the screen for breaks or
tears and replace it if necessary.
3. Install the spark arrester in the reverse order of removal.
