General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the generator. See any authorized Briggs
& Stratton dealer for service.
The generator’s warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and
clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your
engine run better and last longer.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual. See
Emissions Control System Warranty in the Warranties section.
