OWNER’S MANUAL
MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIRS
WARNING: Only a qualified
electrical service person should
service and repair the alternator
on this generator. Use only fac-
tory approved replacement parts.
STOPPING ENGINE
IMPORTANT:
The engine speed is preset.
The throttle is locked in preset position. Do
not adjust throttle.
Follow the steps below to stop engine.
1. Remove all electrical loads from gen-
erator (see Disconnecting Electrical
Loads, page 12). Remove electrical
loads one at a time.
2. Let engine run for two or three min-
utes after removing electrical loads.
This lets engine cool slightly.

tion (see Figure 18).
OPERATION
Continued
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.
CAUTION: Shut off generator
before performing maintenance.
CAUTION: The engine speed
is preset. The throttle is locked in
preset position. Do not adjust
throttle. Preset position lets en-
gine run at 3600 RPM under load.
The engine must maintain 3600
RPM for generator to create cor-
rect voltage. Running engine at
lower speeds will damage gen-
erator and powered items.

STORAGE
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.
WARNING: The muffler be-
comes very hot during operation.
The muffler remains hot for a
while after shutdown. Let engine
cool before storing.
WARNING: Remove all fuel
from fuel tank before storing gen-
erator. Store fuel in approved con-
tainer. Store fuel in a well-vented
area free of open flames or sparks.
