3.2.3 EMISS/ONS/NFORMATiON
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that this
generator comply with exhaust emission standards. The engine
used in this generator is certified to meet the applicable EPA
emission levels. It is important to follow the maintenance
specifications provided in this manuals to ensurethat the engine
complies with the applicableemission standardsfor the duration
of the engine'slife. The emissioncontrol system on this generator
consists of the following:
* Air Induction system
*
Ignition System
Intake Pipe/Manifold
-
Spark Plug
Air Cleaner
_
Ignition Coil
* Exhaust System
*
Fuel System
Exhaustmanifold
_
Carburetor
Muffler
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours
for which the engine has been shown to meet EPA emission
requirements.
3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Thewarranty of the generatordoes 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.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenancesection of this manual should
be madeat least once each season.Followthe requirementsin the
"MaintenanceSchedule".
NOTE:
Once a year replacethe spark plug and replacethe air filter.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and helpthe enginerun better and last longer.
3.3.1 GENERATOR MA/NTENANCE
Generatormaintenanceconsists of keepingthe unit cleanand dry.
Operateand store the unit in a clean dry environmentwhere it will
not be exposedto excessivedust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become
clogged with snow, leaves,or any other foreign material.
Checkthe cleanlinessof the generatorfrequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on
its exteriorsurface.
A.CAUTION!
_h
Never insert any object or tool through
the air
cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.
NOTE:
DO NOTuse a garden hoseto clean generator.Water can enter
the enginefuel systemand causeproblems.In addition, if water
enters the generatorthrough coolingair slots, some water will
be retainedin voidsand crevicesof the rotorand stator winding
insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal
windingswill eventually decrease the insulationresistanceof
these windings.
3.3.2 TOCLEANTHEGENERATOR
* Use a damp cloth to wipe exteriorsurfaces clean.
* A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
* A vacuumcleanermay be usedto pick up loosedirt and debris.
* Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings
on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
3.3.3 ENG/NE MAINTENANCE
//_When
working
on the generator, always
disconnect
negative cable from battery. Also
disconnect
spark plug wire from spark plug and
keep wire away from spark plug.
3.3.4 CHECK/NG OILLEVEL
Seethe "Before Starting the Generator"sectionfor informationon
checkingthe oil level. The oil levelshould be checkedbefore each
use, or at least every eight hours of operation. Keepthe oil level
maintained.
