Cleaning the Generator

 

CAUTION

DO NOT spray engine with water.

Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and 
damage the generator windings. It can also contaminate the 
fuel system.

1.  Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the 

generator.

2.  Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.

3.  Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris 

from the generator. 

4.  Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they 

are clean and unobstructed.

To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground the spark 
plug wire before performing any service.

Changing the Engine Oil

Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil 
specification to select the proper grade for your operating 
environment.

1.  Remove the oil drain plug with a 12 mm socket 

(not included) and extension.

DRAIN BOLT

2.  Allow the oil to drain completely into an appropriate 

container.

3.  Replace the oil drain plug.

4.  Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.

5.  Add oil according to “Add Engine Oil” on Assembly 

section. DO NOT OVERFILL. Oil not included for routine 
maintenance.

6.  Dispose of used oil at an approved waste management 

facility.

 

NOTICE

Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil 
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. If using 
the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick 
while checking.

Cleaning and Adjusting the Spark Plug(s)

1.  Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.

2.  Use a spark plug socket tool (not included), or a 

13/16 in. (21 mm) socket (not included) to remove the plug.

3.  Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean and not 

worn to produce the spark required for ignition.

4.  Make certain the spark plug gap is 

0.028-0.031 in. (0.7-0.8 mm).
