MAINTENANCE
Before performing maintenance
on the generator, review Safety on
page 7 and the following safety
messages.
WARNING
Avoid accidentally starting the
generator during maintenance by
removing the spark plug boot from the
spark plug. Also disconnect the battery
cables from the battery (disconnect the
black negative (-) cable first) and place
the cables away from the battery posts
to avoid arcing.
Allow hot components to cool to
the touch prior to performing any
maintenance procedure.
Internal pressure can build in the
engine crankcase while the engine
is running. Removing the oil dipstick
while the engine is hot can cause
extremely hot oil to spray out of the
crankcase and can severely burn skin.
Allow engine oil to cool for several
minutes before removing the oil
dipstick.
Always perform maintenance in a well-
ventilated area. Gasoline fuel and fuel
vapors are extremely flammable and
can ignite under certain conditions.

Maintenance Schedule

WARNING
Failure to perform periodic
maintenance or not following
maintenance procedures can cause
the generator to malfunction and could
result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Periodic maintenance intervals vary depending
on generator operating conditions. Operating the
generator under severe conditions, such as sustained
high-load, high-temperature, or unusually wet or
dusty environments, will require more frequent
periodic maintenance. The intervals listed in the
maintenance schedule should be treated only as a
general guideline.
Following the maintenance schedule is important
to keep the generator in good operating condition.
The following is a summary of maintenance items by
periodic maintenance intervals.
