SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
The spark plug must be properly gapped and
free of deposits in order to ensure proper engine
operation. To check:
1. Remove the spark plug cap (Fig.17 & 18).
2. Clean any dirt from around base of spark
plug.
3. Remove spark plug using wrench provided.
4. Inspect spark plug for damage, and clean
with a wire brush before reinstalling. If
insulator is cracked or chipped, spark plug
should be replaced. Make sure electrode
gap is 0.60mm-0.80mm.
NOTE:
If replacing, use the following
recommended spark plug: E7RTC.
5. Screw spark plug back by hand, avoid
damaging threads of the cylinder.
6. Put the spark plug back in position and use
the spark plug wrench to tighten it. If spark
plug is new, use 1/2 turn to compress
washer appropriate amount. If reusing old
spark plug, use 1/8 to 1/4 turn for proper
washer compression.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT & MUFFLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type
and amount of oil used, and/or your operating
conditions, the exhaust port and muffler may
become blocked with carbon deposits. If you
notice a power loss with your petrol-powered
tool, you may need to remove these deposits to
restore performance. We highly recommend that
only qualified service technicians perform this
service.
CLEANING THE FUEL TANK FILTER
After every 100 hours of running or every 6
months the fuel tank filter should be removed
and cleaned.
1. Remove fuel cap and filter (Fig.19).
2. Clean the filter, replace if broken.
3. Dry the filter and install back on the
generator.
