3.4.4 CHECKING OIL LEVEL

See the “Before Starting the Generator” section for information on

checking the oil level. The oil level should be checked before each

use, or at least every eight hours of operation. Keep the oil level

maintained.

3.4.5 CHANGING THE OIL

Change the oil after the first 20 to 30 hours of operation. Change

the oil every 50 to 100 hours or every season thereafter. If running

this unit under dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot

weather, change the oil more often.



Hot oil may cause burns. Allow engine to

cool before draining oil. Avoid prolonged

or repeated skin exposure with used oil.

Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap.

Use the following instructions to change the oil after the engine

cools down:

1. Clean area around oil drain plug.
2. Remove oil drain plug from engine and oil fill plug to drain oil

completely into a suitable container.

3. When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug and

tighten securely.

4. Fill oil sump with recommended oil. (See “Before Starting the

Generator” for oil recommendations).

5. Wipe up any spilled oil.
6. Dispose of used oil at a proper collection center.

3.4.6 REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

See Engine Specifications for recommended spark plug. Replace

the plug once each year. This will help the engine start easier and

run better.

1. Stop the engine and pull the spark plug wire off of the spark

plug.

2. Clean the area around the spark plug and remove it from the

cylinder head.

3. Set the spark plug's gap to 0.70-0.80 mm. Install the correctly

gapped spark plug into the cylinder head (Figure 14).

3.4.7 BATTERY REPLACEMENT (IF APPLICABLE)

NOTE:

The battery shipped with the generator has been fully charged.

A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for

prolonged periods of time. If the battery is unable to crank the

engine, plug in the 12V charger included in the accessory box

(see the Charging a Battery section). RUNNING THE GENERATOR

DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY. The part number for this

battery is 0G9449.



The NEGATIVE battery terminal should:

1. Always be DISCONNECTED FIRST.

2. Always be CONNECTED LAST.

Figure 15 - Battery Connections

3.4.8 SPARK ARRESTOR

The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect

and clean the screen at least once each year (Figure 16). If unit is

used regularly, inspect and clean more often.

NOTICE:

If using the generator on any forest-covered, brush-covered

or grass-covered unimproved land, it must equipped with a

spark arrestor. The spark arrestor must be maintained in good

condition by the owner/operator.
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:

1. Remove clamp and spark arrestor from muffler.
2. Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise

damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not

damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.

3. Replace the spark arrestor and clamp.
