REPLACEMENT PARTS

The emission control systems on your engine were designed, built, and certified to conform to
Canadian emission regulations. The use of genuine parts is recommended whenever maintenance is
done to the engine. Genuine replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the
original parts. Using replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair
the effectiveness of your emission control system.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of an aftermarket part to certify that use of the part will
not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

1. Charge batteries in a designated, well-ventilated area to avoid gas buildup.
2. Charge the battery at rates recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Disconnect the charger from its power source before attaching or removing the clamp
connections.
4. Carefully attach the clamps to the battery terminals based on their proper polarity.
5. Maintain the connections and the vent plug adjustment per the manufacture's
recommendations. Also maintain the vent caps to reduce the chance of electrolyte spray.
6. Clean the terminals and rinse off the battery's outer surface before recharging. Brush away
from yourself when cleaning debris from the battery and terminals to avoid potential
contamination.
7. Fill sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to the prescribed level before charging to reduce the chances of
the electrolyte heating up excessively. If water is added, use distilled water. Do not use tap
water due to impurities that can impact the battery performance.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator in good condition. The steps
below will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your generator's function and
appearance and will make the generator easier to start when used again.
The following precautions should be taken if storing your generator for a period exceeding 30 days
or for seasonal storage.
1. Store in a clean dry area.
2. Change the oil while the engine is still warm (see section How to Drain Oil).
3. Clean the debris, chaff or grass from the engine's surface.
4. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a proper receptacle for storage.
5. Remove the spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of oil into the spark plug hole.
6. Pull starter rope slowly 8-10 times to properly coat the cylinder bore and piston for storage.
Replace spark plug and tighten. Any residual oil will burn off in subsequent starts. This may
result in white smoke emission from muffler.
7. Pull the recoil starter rope again until you feel a slight resistance. Keep pulling until the arrow
on the starting sleeve aligns with the hole of the starter. When aligned, both the inlet and outlet
valves are closed. This will help prevent the engines from rusting inside.
8. Store this generator in the horizontal position with the spark plug up. Do not store or transport
with the spark plug down. Storing or transporting with the spark plug down will result in hard
starting and/or engine smoking.
STORING GENERATOR WITH FUEL
WARNING! Keep the generator away from ignition sources such as sparks, the open flame of a
pilot light when storing with fuel in the tank. An ignition source can ignite gasoline vapours.
1. If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to
reduce the hazard of gasoline vapour ignition.
