TRANSPORTING
Turn the engine switch OFF ( O ). 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 transporting
the machine. Make sure engine and exhaust of unit are
cool.
For security, insert the pins to secure the handles before
transporting.
Tilt the machine away from you until it balances on the
wheels, then roll the machine to the desired location.
If transporting in a vehicle, drain the fuel tank, close the
fuel valve and securely restrain the generator.
Provide a plastic sheet or absorbent pad below the
generator to catch any drips of fuel or lubricant.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
See Figure 21.
Occasionally the fuel filter may become clogged and need
to be replaced. To purchase a replacement fuel filter contact
customer service or a qualified service center.
NOTE: Fuel tank must be empty before replacing fuel filter.
Run unit until tank is empty, if needed, or inspect filter prior
to fill-up.
To replace:
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Remove the fuel line from both sides of the filter by
squeezing the ends of the retaining clip with pliers.
Slide the fuel line off.
Replace with new fuel filter.
Reinstall fuel lines to new fuel filter.
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
CHANGING ENGINE BATTERY CHARGE
CIRCUIT FUSE
See Figure 22.
NOTICE:
Do not use a higher rated fuse other than the specified
amperage. This could cause damage to the product.
Grip both sides of the plastic fuse holder and twist apart
to reveal the fuse and spring.
Insert new fuse and refasten the fuse holder by pushing
the two sides of the connector together and twisting to
secure.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: If spring came out of fuse holder when it was
opened, it should also be replaced inside the fuse holder
before securing.
USING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER
See Figure 23.
When storing the generator, the battery maintainer can be
connected to keep the battery fully charged and ready for use.
NOTE: The battery maintainer provided should only be used
with the 12V 9Ah/20HR lead acid battery model RT1290H
supplied with this generator.
Connect the battery maintainer to the power supply. Make
sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120
volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Attach the other end of the battery maintainer to the
charging cable attached to the battery. The red light on
the plug will illuminate to show the battery is charging.
The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
When battery is fully charged, the red light will turn green.
NOTE: If the light does not illuminate, the fuse on the
charging cable may need to be replaced. Check the fuse
and replace if needed.
Disconnect the battery maintainer before operating the
generator. Place the cover on the charging cable when
not in use.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND PREPARATION FOR
RECYCLING
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.

Upon removal, cover the battery's terminals with
heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery or remove any of its components.
Lead acid batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal
objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep
away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in fire and/or serious injury.
