Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance
Spark Plug Service
WARNING! Always make sure the engine power switch is in its “OFF” position. Disconnect the spark
plug wire from the engine and allow sufficient time for the engine and generator to completely cool before
performing any inspections, maintenance, or cleaning.
Before each use, inspect the generator. Check for:
- Loose screws
- Misaligned or binding moving parts
- Cracked or broken parts
- Damaged electrical wiring
- Any other condition that may affect safe operation.
If an engine problem occurs, have it checked by a qualified service technician before further use. Do not use
damaged equipment.
Before each use, make sure the engine’s oil and gas levels are adequate. If necessary, fill the crankcase until
the oil level is even with the oil hill hole and/or fill the fuel tank.
Before each use, remove all debris with a soft brush, rag, or vacuum.
Lubricate all moving parts using a premium quality, lightweight machine oil.
Oil has to be drained after the first 20 hours of use. This is the break in period. Then after every 50 hours
of use, drain the old engine oil and replace with a high quality SAE 10W-30 grade engine oil.
Every 300 hours of use, have a qualified, certified technician perform thorough maintenance on the generator
and engine.
For long term storage, either drain fuel into suitable container or add a fuel preservative/stabilizer (not
included) to prevent fuel breakdown.
