performed by an Independent Authorized Service Dealer
(IASD). Regular maintenance, replacement or repair of
the emissions control devices and systems may be

choosing. However, to obtain emissions control
warranty service free of charge, the work must be

Dirt or debris can cause improper operation and
equipment damage. Clean generator daily or before
each use. Keep area around and behind muffler free
from combustible debris. Inspect all cooling air
openings on generator.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
• Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi)
may be used to blow away dirt. Inspect
cooling air slots and openings on generator.
These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
NOTE
: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter engine fuel system
and cause problems. If water enters generator
through cooling air slots, some water will be
retained in voids and crevices of rotor and stator
winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup
on generator internal windings will decrease
insulation resistance of windings.
Follow maintenance schedule intervals, whichever
occurs first according to use.
NOTE: Adverse conditions will require more frequent
service.
NOTE: All required service and adjustments should be
each season as detailed in the following chart.
Do not insert any object through the air cooling slots.
Generator can start at any time and could result in
death, serious injury, and unit damage.
