WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of
clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust
gases can be hot enough to cause serious burns and/or
ignite combustible objects.
Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission con-
trol devices and systems may be performed by any qualified
repair establishment or individual with original or equivalent
parts. Warranty and recall repairs must be performed by an
authorized service center; please contact customer service
for assistance.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only recommended or equivalent
replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create
a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug. Allow 30 minutes of cool down time before perform-
ing any maintenance. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
OPERATION
MOVING THE GENERATOR
See Figure 7.
 Turn off the generator.
 Disconnect any equipment that is plugged into the
generator.
 Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
 Allow 30 minutes of "cool down" time before moving the
machine.
 Using the frame, get a firm grasp of the unit. Lift the unit
into a safe and comfortable carrying position.
NOTE: This tool is heavy and requires two people to lift.
To avoid back injury, keep your knees bent and lift with
your legs, not your back, and get help when needed.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Your engine is configured for operation below 1500 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for
operation above 1500 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade per-
formance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured
for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard
altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure
that your engine is properly configured for your location.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE:
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged,
missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps,
etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not
operate this product until all missing or damaged parts
are replaced. Contact customer service or a qualified
service center for assistance.
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 en-
tering 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.
