GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep the generator in a clean and dry environment where it
is not exposed to dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive vapors.
Do not allow the cooling air slots in the generator to become
clogged with foreign material such as leaves, etc.
Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water
entering the fuel system or other internal parts of the unit can
cause problems that will decrease the life of the generator.
To clean the unit:
 Use a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner to loosen
and remove dirt and debris.
 Clean air vents with low pressure air that does not exceed
25 psi.
 Wipe the exterior surfaces of the generator with a damp cloth.
OPERATION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Specific modifications are needed for high-altitude operation.
Please contact your authorized service center for important
information regarding these modifications. Operating this
engine without the proper altitude modification may increase
the engine's emissions and decrease fuel economy and
performance.

MAINTENANCE

CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
See Figures 13 - 14.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

Remove air filter cover and set aside.
 Remove the air filter.
 Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
squeeze to dry.
