Storage
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.
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.
Spark plugs
1. Remove spark plug (15) from the generator with the
spark plug spanner socket supplied.
2. Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
3. Check for discoloration on the top of the spark plug.
The standard colour should be a tan colour.
4. Check the spark plug gap. The acceptable gap should be
between 0.7–0.8mm (Fig. K).
5. The recommended spark plugs are as follows:
BPR6ES (NGK)
RN9Y (Champion)

Engine oil replacement
1. Place the generator on a level surface and warm up the
engine for several minutes. The stop the engine.
2. Remove oil filler cap (7).
3. Place an oil pan under the generator and commence
removing the oil drain cock (11) so that the oil can be
completely drained.
4. Check the oil drain cock (11), gasket, oil filler cap (7) and
O-ring. If damaged, have these replaced.

enters the crankcase.
Air filter
It is very important to maintain an air filter in proper
condition. Damage to the generator may arise if the
filter has:
• Improperly been serviced.
• Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter
due to improper installation and engine wear.
ALWAYS keep the filter clean at all times.
1. Remove the air filter cover
(13) on the side of the
generator by lifting the 2
clips on both the top and
bottom of the air filter cover
(13) (Fig. L).
2. Remove the air filter
(Fig. M).
3. Wash the air filter in solvent
or kerosene and allow to dry.
4. Lubricate the filter using
motor oil (SAE #30).
5. Thoroughly squeeze the
filter removing excess oil.
6. Replace air filter back into
the engine.
7. Secure the cover back onto
the side panel of the generator.
