replace.
FUEL STRAINER CLEANING

EXCITING THE GENERATOR:
If there is a loss of residual magnetism (voltage will
not build up), it may be necessary to re-excite the
unit.
NOTE: Your generator is a brushless unit. Please
contact your local service center or the Power
tech
Asia
Pacific Inc.,
Service Department for
assistance with exciting your generator.
HEAT SHIELD:
Inspect to ensure that all heat shields and heat
deflectors are intact and in place. Do not remove
any parts or modify parts. Removing or modifying
parts could cause serious damage to the unit.
ENGINE: Carburetor Icing
During the winter months, rare atmospheric
conditions may develop which will cause an icing
condition in the carburetor. If this develops, the
engine may run rough, loose power, and may stall.
Call Product Service for more information.
QUICK STARTING TIPS FOR UNITS THAT HAVE
BEEN SITTING FOR AWHILE:
If your unit has been sitting around for a long time
period and is hard to start, try doing some of these
easy steps before calling the Customer Hotline.
1. Check the oil level.
2. Replace the old fuel.
3. Change the spark plug.
4. Check the fuel lines. Make sure the fuel valve
is open.
5. Check all generator parts for integrity.
6. Clean the Carburetor.
SERVICE AND STORAGE
INFREQUENT SERVICE
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may
result. to eliminate hard starting, run the generator
at least 30 minutes every month. Also, if the unit
will not be used for some time, it is a good idea to
drain the fuel from the carburetor and gas tank.
LONG TERM STORAGE
When the generator set is not being operated or
is being stored more than one month, follow these
instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and
carburetor.
3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through
the spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter
several times and replace the plug. Then pull
the starter until you feel the piston is on its
compression stroke and leave it in that
position. This closes both the intake and
exhaust valves to prevent the inside of the
cylinder from rusting.
4. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place
that is well ventilated away from open flame
or sparks.
NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel
stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the
formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in
the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage
container.
