Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface. NOTE: DO NOT use water or other liquids to clean generator. Liquids can enter the engine fuel system causing poor performance and / or failure to occur. In addition, if liquids enters the generator through cooling air slots, some of the liquid will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Liquid and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings. Generator Cleaning Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from generator. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris. Generator parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris. • Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean. • Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc. • Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris. Figure 9 – Maintenance Schedule FILL IN DATES AS YOU COMPLETE REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE TASK SERVICE DATES Before Each Use Every 25 Hours or Yearly Every 50 Hours or Yearly Every 100 Hours or Yearly SERVICE DATES Check oil level X Clean debris X Service air cleaner X. Change engine oil X. Service spark plug X Service spark arrester X Clean cooling system X. Prepare for storage If unit is to remain idle for longer than 30 days. . Change oil after the first (5) operating hours and every 50 hours or every year, whichever occurs first, thereafter. Change sooner when operating under dirty or dusty conditions. . Replace more often under dirty or dusty conditions. 13 MAINTENANCE • Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator.These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed. CAUTION Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life. • • DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors. DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots. ENGINE MAINTENANCE WARNING Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TOYOUR GENERATOR • Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug. WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK • Use approved spark plug tester. • DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed. Oil Oil Recommendations NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use only high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. DO NOT use special additives. 1. Choose a viscosity according to the following table: NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2,API certification mark and API service symbol with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals. SAE 30: 40 °F and higher (5 °C and higher) is good for all purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard starting. 10W-30: 0 to 100 °F (-18 to 38 °C) is better for varying temperature conditions.This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80°F(27°C) or higher. *Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures. Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120 °F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption. 5W-30: 40 °F and below (5 °C and below) is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions. Checking Oil Level Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained. 1. Make sure generator is on a level surface. 2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cloth. Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and and check oil level. 3. Verify oil is at “Full” mark on dipstick. Replace and tighten dipstick. Adding Engine Oil 1. Make sure generator is on a level surface. 2. Check oil level as described in “Checking Oil Level”. 3. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the “Full” mark on dipstick. DO NOT overfill. 4. Replace and tighten dipstick. Servicing Air Cleaner Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if you run it with a dirty air cleaner. Replace the air cleaner every 25 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first. Replace more often if operating under dirty or dusty conditions. 14 MAINTENANCE To service the air cleaner, follow these steps: 1. Loosen screw and tilt cover down (Figure 10). Figure 10 - Air Cleaner 2. Carefully remove cartridge assembly. 3. To clean cartridge, gently tap pleated paper side on a flat surface. 4. Reinstall clean or new cartridge inside cover. 5. Insert cover’s tabs into slots in bottom of base. 6. Tilt cover up and tighten screw securely to base. Changing Engine Oil Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation. Change oil eve...
