Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission
control 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:
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
performing any maintenance. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only recommended or equivalent
replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create
a hazard or cause product damage.
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. Please 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
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.
MAINTENANCE
CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
See Figure 16.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.
Release latches on side of air filter cover. Remove cover
and set aside.
Remove the filter element.
If the filter element is dirty, clean with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and let dry.
Apply a light coat of engine lubricant to the element, then
squeeze it out.
Replace the element in the air filter unit.
Replace the air filter cover and latch to secure.
NOTE: Do not run the generator without the air filter. Rapid
engine wear will result.
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 17.
Remove the oil cap/dipstick.
Place a container underneath the oil drain plug to collect
used lubricant as it drains.
Unscrew the oil drain plug and remove.
Allow lubricant to drain completely.
NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm
but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more
completely.
Do not change engine lubricant while it is hot. Accidental
contact with hot engine lubricant could result in serious
burns.
Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten securely.
Refill with lubricant following the instructions in the
Checking/Adding Lubricant section. For amount of
lubricant needed to refill, see Product Specifications
earlier in this manual or the accompanying engine manual,
if applicable.
Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick.
NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved
disposal site. See your local oil retailer for more information.
