Emissions Control

Any individual, whether from a non-road engine repair
establishment or not, can perform maintenance,
replacement, or repair of the emissions control devices
and systems. However, only a factory-authorized dealer
must do the work required to obtain a "no charge"
emissions control service. See the Emissions Warranty
for details.

Maintaining the Generator

The generator's warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.
The generator requires the owner to make some
adjustments periodically to correctly maintain it.
Perform all service and adjustments at least once each
season. Obey the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule section.
Generator maintenance also means keeping the unit
clean. Operate the unit in an environment that remains
free of excessive dust, dirt, moisture, or any corrosive
vapors. Do not allow the cooling air inlets and outlets
on the enclosure to become clogged with snow, leaves,
or other foreign material. To prevent generator damage
caused by overheating, keep the enclosure cooling inlets
and outlets clean and unobstructed at all times.
Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean it
when dust, dirt, oil, moisture, or other foreign substances
appear on its exterior and interior surface. Inspect the
air inlet and outlet openings inside and outside the
enclosure to make sure no blockages exist in the airflow.
Improperly treating the generator can
damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT expose the generator to excessive moisture,
dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.
• DO NOT insert any objects through the cooling slots.
Cleaning the Generator
WARNING
ignite combustibles, causing a fire and resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Keep the area near the generator clean and free of
debris.
DO NOT use direct spray from a
garden hose to clean the generator. Water can enter the
engine and generator and cause damage.
Periodically inspect the engine
exterior for contamination and potential damage from dirt,
leaves, rodents, spiderwebs, insects, etc., and remove
these materials.
