3.1 PERFORMING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
It is important to perform service as specified in the Maintenance
Schedulefor proper generator operation, and to ensure that the
generatorcomplies with the applicableemission standardsfor the
durationof its useful life. Service and repairsmay be performed by
any capableperson or repair shop. Additionally,emissions critical
maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the
Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance
consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance
with the MaintenanceSchedule.
3.2 MAINTENANCE S CHEDULE
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operatingin adverseconditions noted below.

* Changeoil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in high
temperatures.
** Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions. Replaceair filter
parts if they cannot be adequately cleaned.
*** Check valve clearance and adjust if necessary after first 50 hours of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

3.3.3 EM/SS/ONS /NFORIVIAT/ON
The Environmental P rotectionAgency (and CaliforniaAir Resource
Board for generators certified to CA standards) require(s) that
this generator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission
standards. Locate the emissions compliance decal on the engine
to determinewhat standards the generatormeets. This generator
is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control system
includes the following components (if equipped):
Air Induction System • Ignition System
- Intake Pipe/ Manifold -- Spark Plug
- Air Cleaner -- Ignition Module
Fuel System • Exhaust System
- Carburetor -- ExhaustManifold
- FuelTank/Cap -- Muffler
- FuelLines -- PulsedAir Valve
- EvaporativeVent Lines -- Catalyst
- CarbonCanister
3.4 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Thewarranty of the generatordoes not cover itemsthat havebeen
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the generator as
instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments wilt need to be made periodically to properly
maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenancesection of this manual should
be madeat least once eachseason. Followthe requirementsin the
"MaintenanceSchedule".
NOTE:
Once a year replace the spark plug and replace the air filter.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and helpthe engine run better and last longer.
3.4.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generatormaintenanceconsists of keepingthe unit clean and dry.
Operateand store the unit in a clean dry environmentwhere it will
not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors.Coolingair slots in the generatormust not becomeclogged
with snow, leaves,or any otherforeign material.
Checkthe cleanlinessof the generatorfrequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on
its exteriorsurface.
,ACAUTION!
,_ Never insert any object or tool through the air
cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.
NOTE:
DO NOTuse a garden hoseto clean generator. Water can enter
the engine fuel system and causeproblems.In addition,if water
enters thegenerator through c oolingair slots,some water will
be retainedin voidsand crevicesof the rotorand stator winding
insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal
windingswill eventually decrease the insulationresistanceof
these windings.
