Carburetor Adjustment - Craftsman 580.325610 Instrucciones De Uso

Clean/Replace Spark Plug
Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or once
each year, whichever comes first. This will help your engine
to start easier and run better.
1. Clean area around spark plug.
2. Remove and inspect spark plug.
3. Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and set
spark plug gap to 0.030 inch (0.76mm) if necessary.
4. Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned or
porcelain is cracked. Use a recommended replacement
plug.
5. Install spark plug and tighten firmly.
NOTE: You can purchase a new spark plug by calling
1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663).
Clean Spark Arrester Screen
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrester screen.
Inspect and clean the screen every 100 hours of operation or
once each year, whichever comes first.
NOTE: You can purchase a new spark arrester screen by
calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663).
If you use your generator on any forest-covered, brush-
covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have a
spark arrester. The spark arrester must be maintained in good
condition by the owner/operator.
Contact with muffler area can result in serious
burns.
Exhaust heat/ gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of
generator including overhead.
• Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and
Public Property require equipment powered by an internal
combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in
effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service
standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a
spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California
Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.
Clean and inspect the spark arrester as follows:
1. To remove muffler heat shield (A) from muffler (B),
remove four screws that connect guard to muffler bracket.
WARNING
2. Remove four screws that attach spark arrester screen (C).

3. Inspect screen and obtain a replacement if torn,
perforated or otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a
defective screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with
commercial solvent.
4. Reattach screen and muffler guard.
Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a Sears or other
qualified service dealer clean the cooling system (A) per
recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule). Equally
important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See
Generator Cleaning.

Carburetor Adjustment

The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve and governed idle, if
equipped. Governed idle and top speed have been set at the
factory. If adjustment is required, see any Sears or other
qualified dealer.
Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury
and damage to generator.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
• DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed
speed.
• DO NOT modify generator in any way.
