•
Loosen the screw on the muffler tail pipe and
remove the spark arrester screen.
•
Use a brass or stiff-bristle brush to remove carbon
deposits from the spark arrester surface.
•
Inspect the spark arrester for breaks or tears and
replace it if necessary.
NOTE: If you need to order a new spark arrester,
please call 1-800-366-PART.
•
Install the clean screen in the reverse order of
removal.
NOTE: If you use your generator on any forest-
covered, brush-covered
or grass-covered unimproved
land, it must have a spark arrester installed. The spark
arrester must be maintained in good condition by the
owner/operator.
GENERAL
Transporting
and Storage
When transporting the generator, turn the engine
switch to "OFF" and the fuel valve to "CLOSE". Keep
the generator level to prevent fuel spillage.

WARNING!
Contact with a hot engine or
exhaust system can cause serious burns or
fires. Let the engine cool before transporting or
storing the generator.
Take care to not drop or strike the generator
when transporting. Do Not place heavy objects
on the generator.
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If
this cannot be done and you must store the unit for
more than 30 days, use the following information as a
guide to prepare it for storage.
Long Term
Storage
Instructions
_
ARNING!
Never store engine with fuel in
tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated
areas where fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
Be sure the storage area is free from excessive
humidity and dust.
One Month to One Year
Drain the carburetor float bowl (see following section)
and fuel tank into a suitable container. After removal
from storage, fill with fresh gasoline before starting.
More than One Year
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended
fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
