BASIC OPERATION

outdoors to a flat dry location such as a driveway or

sidewalk.

Many homes today are wired for at least 60 to 100 Amp

entrance service, much greater than the capacity of these

portable generators. Do not attempt to power an entire

home with this portable generator. This generator set is

suitable for powering individual appliances or emergency

lighting.

ENGINE CARE

If major engine service or repair is required contact an

authorized engine service center. The manufacturer of

these engines has established an excellent world-wide

engine service organization. Engine service is very likely

available from a nearby authorized dealer or distributor.

Check the yellow pages of your local telephone directory

under "Engines-Gasoline" for the closest engine repair

center or ask the dealer from whom you purchased the

power plant.

1. Change the oil after the first five hours of operation and

every 50 hours thereafter under normal operating

conditions. Change engine oil every 25 hours of operation

if the engine is operated under heavy load, or in high

ambient temperatures.

a. Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine

and drain the oil with the engine warm.

b. Replace oil drain plug.

c. Remove oil filler plug and refill with new oil.

Refer to the table in the engine manual for the

proper grade of oil based on your operating

temperature.

d. Replace filler plug.

2. Checking the Oil Level: The oil level must always be

checked before the engine is started. Take care to remove

any dirt or debris from around the oil fill plug before

removing. Be sure the oil level is maintained. FILL TO

POINT OF OVERFLOWING or on units with the extended oil

fill to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.

3. Cartridge Air Cleaner - Remove and clean cartridge

yearly or after every 25 hours, whichever occurs first.

Service more often if necessary. Clean by tapping gently on

flat surface. If very dirty, replace the cartridge using only

original equipment parts available at any engine service

center.

Do not use petroleum solvents, such as kerosene, to

attempt to clean the cartridge. They may cause

deterioration of the cartridge. DO NOT OIL CARTRIDGE,

DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED AIR TO CLEAN OR DRY

CARTRIDGE.

4. Dual Element Air Cleaner - Clean and re-oil foam pre-

cleaner at three month intervals or every 25 hours,

whichever occurs first. Service more often under dusty

conditions.

a. Remove knob and cover.

b. Remove foam pre-cleaner by sliding it off

the paper cartridge.

c. Wash foam pre-cleaner in kerosene or

liquid detergent and water

d. Wrap foam pre-cleaner in cloth and

squeeze dry.

e. Saturate foam pre-cleaner in engine oil.

Squeeze to remove excess oil.

f. Install foam pre-cleaner over paper

cartridge. Reassemble cover and screw down

tight.

Replace the cartridge included with Dual Element Air

Cleaner yearly or every 100 hours. Service more often if

necessary.

5. Spark Plug - Clean and reset gap at .030" every 100

hours of operation. Do not blast clean spark plug. Clean

by scraping or wire brushing and washing with a

commercial solvent. Poor spark will occur if terminal does

not fit firmly on spark plug. If this happens reform the

terminal to fit firmly on spark plug tip.

GENERATOR CARE

Proper care and maintenance of the generator is necessary

to insure a long trouble free life.

1. Exercising The Generator - The generator should be

operated every three to four weeks. It should be operated

for a period of time sufficient to warm the unit up and to dry

out any moisture that has accumulated in the windings. If

left, this moisture can cause corrosion in the winding.

Frequent operation of the engine generator set will also

insure that the set is operating properly should it be

needed in an emergency.

2. Generator Maintenance - Any major generator service

including the installation or replacement of parts should

be performed only by a qualified electrical service

technician. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED REPAIR

PARTS.

a. Bearing - The bearing used in these

generators is a heavy duty double sealed ball

bearing. They require no maintenance or

lubrication.

b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have

been utilized. If a receptacle should become

cracked or otherwise damaged, replace it.

Using damaged or cracked receptacles can be

both dangerous to the operator and

destructive to

CLEANING

Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. DO NOT use

high pressure spray to clean either the engine or the

generator. This high pressure spray could contaminate

the fuel system and the generator components.
