MAINTENANCE
Ensure that all safety information, warnings, and instructions are read
and understood before any maintenance procedures are performed.
Use service hours or calendar time, WHICH EVER OCCURS FIRST, to
determine the correct maintenance intervals. Stop the engine before
servicing. Put the generator on a level surface and remove the spark
plug cap to prevent the engine from starting. Do not operate the engine
in an unventilated room or other enclosed area.

GENERATOR - INSPECT
Once a month start the engine and run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature (about 10 minutes). Plug in a corded device and
turn on the device to ensure that the generator is providing power. Once
you have verified that the generator is providing power, turn off the de-
vice and unplug it. Then turn the generator off.
