CLEANING THE GENERATOR

It is important to inspect and clean the generator before 

every use.

Clean All Engine Air Inlet and Outlet Ports

 – Make 

sure all engine air inlet and outlet ports are clean of any 

dirt and debris to ensure the engine does not run hot.

Clean All Engine Cooling Fins 

– Use a damp rag and

a brush to loosen and remove all dirt on or around the 

engine’s cooling fins.

Clean All Alternator Cooling Air Inlets and Exhaust

Ports

 – Make sure the cooling air inlets and exhaust 

ports of the alternator are free of any debris and ob-

structions. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and 

debris stuck in the cooling air inlets and exhaust ports.

General Cleaning of the Generator

 – Use a damp rag 

to clean all remaining surfaces.

 

STORING GENERATOR

WARNING

Never store a generator with fuel in the tank indoors 

or in a poorly ventilated area where the fumes can 

come in contact with an ignition source such as a: 

1) pilot light of a stove, water heater, clothes dryer or 

any other gas appliance; or 2) spark from an electric 

appliance.

NOTICE

Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad, causing gum, 

varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages and the 

engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the flow of fuel, preventing an 

engine from starting after a prolonged storage period.

Proper care should be taken to prepare the generator for 

any storage.
1.  Make sure the Engine Switch is switched to 

STOP

 

so the generator does not draw power from battery. 

2.  Clean the generator as outlined in 

Cleaning the 

Generator

.

3.  Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as 

possible.

4.  Drain fuel out of carburetor bowl by loosening screw.

fuel pan

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING VALVE LASH

CAUTION

Checking and adjusting valve lash

must be done when the engine is cold.

1.  Remove the rocker arm cover and carefully remove the 

gasket. If the gasket is torn or damaged, it must be 

replaced.

2.  Remove the spark plug so the engine can be rotated more 

easily.

3.  Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC) of the 

compression stroke. Looking through the spark plug hole, 

the piston should be at the top.

4.  Both the rocker arms should be loose at TDC on the 

compression stroke. If they are not, rotate the engine 360°.

5.  Insert a feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the push 

rod and check for clearance. See Table 3 for valve lash 

specifications

6.  If an adjustment is required, hold the adjusting nut and 

loosen the jam nut.

7.  Turn the adjusting nut to obtain the correct valve lash. 

When the valve lash is correct, hold the adjusting nut and 

tighten the jam nut to 106 in-lb (12 N•m).

8.  Recheck the valve lash after tightening the jam nut.
9.  Perform this procedure for both the intake and exhaust 

valves.

10.  Install the rocker arm cover, gasket and spark plug.
