MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIRS
WARNING
Only a qualified electrical service person should
service and repair the alternator on this generator.
Use only factory approved replacement parts.
CAUTION
The engine speed is preset. The throttle is locked in
preset position. Do not adjust throttle. Preset
position lets engine run at 3600 RPM under load. The
engine must maintain 3600 RPM for generator to
create correct voltage. Running engine at lower
speeds will damage generator and powered items.
CAUTION
Shut off generator before performing maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
Keep generator level when servicing. Never turn generator upside
down or stand it on end to service.
Note:
We supply the engine owner’s manual with generator. Refer to that manual
for questions concerning engine maintenance and repairs.
Non-engine parts require little maintenance. Keep generator clean. Use a damp
cloth to clean outside surfaces. Never use water to clean generator. Water can
cause damage to internal parts. Use vacuum to clean air inlet and outlet louvers of
alternator.
WARNING
Remove all fuel from fuel tank before storing
generator. Store fuel in approved container. Store
fuel in a well-vented area free of open flames or
sparks.
WARNING
The muffler becomes very hot during operation. The
muffler remains hot for a while after shutdown. Let
engine cool before storing.
IMPORTANT:
Keep generator level while in storage. Never store generator upside
down or standing on end.
Note:
We supply the engine owner’s manual with generator. Refer to that manual
for questions concerning engine storage.
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL
®
or an equivalent, when storing generator
with fuel in fuel tank. This will minimize fuel gum deposits from forming in
engine.
Cover and store generator in a clean, dry place. Do not expose generator to
extreme high or low temperatures during storage.
