Before running engine, clean muffler area to
remove all combustible debris.
Carburetor
The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the factory.
The carburetor should not be tampered with. If your gen-
erator is used at an altitude in excess of 4000 feet perfor-
mance may be affected. If so consult with your nearest
Sears Service Center regarding high altitude set changes.
Governor
Your engine governor maintains the constant operating
speed of your generator. DO NOT tamper with the engine
governor which is factory set for proper engine speed.
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30
days, use the following information as a guide to prepare
the generator for storage.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Never store generator with fuel in the
tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas,
where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer or other gas appliances.
Engine Preparation
• Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the
formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-
age.
• Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow it to enter the fuel system.
• Next shut off engine.

Clean and Replace Spark Plug
Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or
once each year, whichever comes first. This will help
your engine to start easier and run better.

Over-speeding your engine above factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous and could possibly cause personal
injury or property damage. If you believe the engine is run-
ning too fast or slow, take your generator to a Authorized
Sears Service Center for repair and adjustment.
CAUTION: Low engine speeds impose a heavy load
on the engine and when sufficient power is not avail-
able the engine life could be shorten.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the
spark plug.
• Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.
• Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a
few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.
• Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark
plug wire.
NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must
be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum
deposits from forming on these parts and causing
possible malfunction of the engine.
Generator
• Clean the generator as outlined on Page 14 (Generator
Maintenance)
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
