3.2.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION

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 ensure that the engine 

complies with the applicable emission standards for the duration 

of the engine's life. The emission control system on this generator 

consists of the following:
•  Air Induction system 

•  Ignition System

~  Intake Pipe/Manifold 

~  Spark Plug

~  Air Filter 

~  Ignition Coil

•  Exhaust System 

•  Fuel System

~ Exhaust manifold 

  ~ Carburetor

~ Muffler 

  ~ Fuel Lines

  ~ 

Fuel 

Tank/Cap

~  Evaporative Vent Lines

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

The warranty of the generator 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.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly 

maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should 

be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the 

"Maintenance Schedule".

NOTE:

Once a year replace the spark plug and replace the air filter. 

A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air 

mixture and help the engine run better and last longer.

3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. 

Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will 

not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive 

vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged 

with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when 

dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on 

its exterior surface.



Never insert any object or tool through the air 

cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.

NOTE:

DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter 

the engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water 

enters the generator through cooling air slots, some water will 

be retained in voids and crevices of the rotor and stator winding 

insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal 

windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of 

these windings.

3.3.2 TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR

•  Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
•  A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil, 

etc.

•  A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt 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.
