Engine Maintenance - Craftsman 580.325610 Instrucciones De Uso

StatStation™
The StatStation™ displays the nominal load on generator
based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance
reminder.
Wattage Monitor Operation
The display is two seven-segment LEDs that provide an easy-
to-read indication of the amount of power being supplied by
the generator. The load monitor displays the generator's
output as a percentage.
As generator load increases, the display values will increase.
When the displayed values begin flashing, the user should
stop adding electrical loads to the generator.
If the power usage becomes too high, the letters "OL" (for
Over Load) will flash on the display. The user should reduce
the amount of load attached to the generator.
Maintenance Reminder
The LED will display certain codes to alert you to check oil,
change oil, check or replace air filter and check or replace
spark plug. The following codes will display:
"C1" Check oil at 8 hour increments
"C2" Change oil at 50 hour increments
"C3" Check or replace air filter at 25 hour increments
"C4" Check or replace spark plug at 100 hour increments
To take advantage of the StatStation "maintenance reminder"
capabilities, the user must press the reset button after
completing the maintenance called for in the displayed code
(C1, C2, C3, or C4). This results in a display of "Co" or "CA",
depending on how long the button is pressed:
1) "Co" - Pressing the reset button once quickly will
display "Co" (clearing to zero). This will clear any
maintenance codes that have elapsed up to that point
and they will begin timing again from zero.
2) "CA" - Pressing and holding the reset button for
2 seconds will display "CA" (clearing all). This clears all
maintenance codes, even if they have not yet reached
their service point, and they will begin timing again
from zero.
If nominal load and maintenance codes appear
simultaneously, the LED shall display, alternately, the
nominal load and code as follows:
The code will display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The
load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
Oil
Oil Recommendations
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use only
high quality detergent oil classified "For Service SF, SG, SH,
SJ" or higher. DO NOT use special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the following table:
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification
mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF ENERGY
CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable oil at all
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
SAE 30: 40 °F and higher (5 °C and higher) is good for all
purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-30: 0 to 100 °F (-18 to 38 °C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This grade of oil improves cold
weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80°F
(27°C) or higher.
*Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120 °F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at all temperatures as well as improved
starting with less oil consumption.
5W-30: 40 °F and below (5 °C and below) is recommended
for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.
