When Calling for Assistance
The home generator system is designed for long term service
as a backup generator. There is no need to take any storage
precautions. However, if it becomes necessary to take the
system out of service for an extended period, call Technical
Services at 888 575-8226, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CT

Storage
Clean Air Cooling System and Oil Cooler Fins
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins
and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly.
Unobstructed air flow is critical for correct generator
operation. For this reason, we recommend you have an
authorized service dealer clean the cooling system per
recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in the
Maintenance section). Equally important is to keep top of
engine free from debris. Make sure the oil cooler fins are free
of dirt and debris. Also see Cleaning.
Service Spark Plugs
Changing the spark plugs will help your engine to start easier
and run better.
1. Clean area around spark plugs.
2. Remove and inspect spark plugs.
3. Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and reset
spark plug gap to recommended gap if necessary
(see Specifications).
4. Replace spark plugs if electrodes are pitted, burned
or porcelain is cracked. Use the recommended
replacement spark plugs. See Specifications.
5. Install spark plugs and tighten to 180 in/lbs (20Nm).
