GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

The generator warranty does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or neglect. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the system as
instructed in the engine operator's manual.
All adjustments should be made at least once each season.
Follow the requirements in the engine operator's manual.
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean.
Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not
become clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign
material.
Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are
visible on its exterior/interior surface.
NOTE: DO NOT use direct spray from a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter the engine and generator and
cause problems.

Changing Engine Oil

• Place the oil drain tube into an approved container.
• Push in and rotate the oil drain fitting 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Slowly pull outward until oil starts
draining (Figure 5). DO NOT pull the oil drain fitting off the
engine.
Figure 5 — Oil Drain Fitting
• When the oil has drained, push the oil drain fitting in and
rotate 1/4 turn clockwise until it locks in place.
• Slide the oil drain tube up into the clamp on the generator.
MAINTENANCE
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in
equipment failure.
• Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
To fill your engine with oil:
Follow the synthetic oil grade recommendation and oil fill
instructions given in the engine operator's manual.

To Clean the Generator

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Improper treatment of generator can damage it and
shorten its life.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or
corrosive vapors.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
• Use a soft, bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow away dirt.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator. These
openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
