GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the generator does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty,
operator must maintain the generator as
instructed in this manual.
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Your generator should be kept clean and
dry at all times. The generator should
not be stored or operated in
environments that include excessive
moisture, dust or any corrosive vapors. If
these substances are on the generator,
clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush.
Do not use a garden hose or anything

tor. Water may enter the cooling air slots
and could possibly damage the rotor,
stator and the internal windings of the
gen head.

level surface.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick
