Maintenance

IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage
rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and
electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't Overload the
Generator" carefully.

2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine
with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move the ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
4. Close fuel valve.

2.9 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down
the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified
level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the cylinder has
sufficient fuel, check engine oil level.
2.9.1 SENSING LOW OIL LEVEL
If the system senses a low oil level during operation, the engine
shuts down. The engine will not run until the oil has been refilled
to the proper level.

3.1 PERFORMING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

It is important to perform Maintenance as specified in the Service
Schedule for proper generator operation, and to ensure that the
generator complies with the applicable emission standards for the
duration of its useful life. Service and repairs may be performed by
any capable person or repair shop. Additionally, emissions critical
maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the
Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance
consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance
with the Service Schedule.

3.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Check Oil Level
Change Oil ‡
Check Valve Clearance
Service Air Filter
Replace Spark Plug
‡ Change oil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.
* Change oil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in high
temperatures.
** Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions. Replace air filter
parts if they cannot be adequately cleaned.
*** Check valve clearance and adjust if necessary after first 50 hours of
operation and every 300 hours thereafter.
