ing any maintenance. Failure to follow these instructions

replacement parts. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel or use of any other parts could
result in a personal injury hazard or property damage.
WARNING:
DO NOT tamper with, adjust, or modify the carbon
monoxide (CO) sensor module on your generator. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions can cause the monitor

personal injury.
NOTICE:
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged,
missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts,
caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and
do not operate this product until all missing or damaged
parts are replaced. Please contact customer service or
a qualifed service center for assistance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep the generator in a clean and dry environment where it is
not exposed to dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive vapors. Do not
allow the cooling air slots in the generator to become clogged
with foreign material such as leaves, etc.
Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water enter-
ing the fuel system or other internal parts of the unit can cause
problems that will decrease the life of the generator.
To clean the unit:
Use a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner to loosen
and remove dirt and debris.
Clean air vents with low pressure air that does not exceed
25 psi.
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the generator with a damp
cloth.
CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
See Figure 15.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.
Remove screws from each side of the air filter cover. Remove
cover and set aside.
Remove the filter element.
If the filter element is dirty, clean with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and let dry.
Apply a light coat of engine lubricant to the element, then
squeeze it out.
Replace the element in the air filter unit.
Replace the air filter cover and tighten screws to secure.
NOTE
: Do not run the generator without the air filter. Rapid
engine wear will result.
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 16.
Remove the oil cap/dipstick.
Place a container underneath the oil drain plug to collect
used lubricant as it drains.
Unscrew the oil drain plug and remove.
Allow lubricant to drain completely.
NOTE:
Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm but not
hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more completely.
WARNING
:
Do not change engine lubricant while it is hot. Accidental
contact with hot engine lubricant could result in serious burns.
Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten securely.
Refill with lubricant following the instructions in the
Checking/
Adding Lubricant
section. For amount of lubricant needed to
refill, see
Product Specifications
earlier in this manual or the
accompanying engine manual, if applicable.
Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick.
NOTE
: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved
disposal site. See your local oil retailer for more information.
