General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the generator. See any authorized dealer
for service.
The generator's warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better and
last longer. Follow requirements in Maintenance Schedule.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
See Emissions Warranty.
Hour Meter
The hour meter is integrated into the Power Use LED's
and indicates the amount of hours the generator has
accumulated. To activate, press and hold the OVERLOAD
RESET button for 3 seconds.
The LED lights should be read from left to right.
Each LED will blink once for 2 seconds to let the user know
how many digits will display. OK represents the first digit,
25% the second digit, 75% the third digit, and 100% the
fourth digit. Each LED will blink the number of hours. Digits
with a zero will remain lit.
