3.2.3 EMISS/ONS/NFORMATiON
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 manualsto ensurethat the engine
complies with the applicableemission standardsfor the duration
of the engine'slife. The emissioncontrol system onthis generator
consists of the following:
* Air Induction system * Ignition System
IntakePipe/Manifold - SparkPlug
Air Cleaner _ IgnitionCoil
* Exhaust System * Fuel System
Exhaustmanifold _ Carburetor
Muffler
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 GENERALRECOMMENDATIONS
Thewarranty of the generatordoes not cover items thathave been
subjected to operator abuse or negligence.To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the generator as
instructed inthis manual.
Some adjustments will needto be made periodicallyto properly
maintainthe generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenancesection of this manual should
be madeat leastonce each season.Followthe requirementsin the
"MaintenanceSchedule".
NOTE:
Once a year replacethe sparkplug and replacethe air filter.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and helpthe enginerunbetter and last longer.
3.3.1 GENERATORMA/NTENANCE
Generatormaintenanceconsists of keepingthe unit cleanand dry.
Operateand storethe unit in a clean dry environmentwhere it will
not be exposedto excessivedust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become
clogged with snow, leaves,or any other foreign material.
Checkthe cleanlinessof the generatorfrequently andclean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances arevisible on
its exteriorsurface.
A.CAUTION!
_h Never insert any object or tool through the air
cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.
NOTE:
DONOTuse a garden hoseto cleangenerator.Water can enter
the enginefuel systemand causeproblems.In addition, if water
entersthe generatorthrough coolingair slots, some water will
be retainedinvoidsand crevicesof therotorand stator winding
insulation.Water and dirt buildupon the generator internal
windingswill eventually decrease the insulationresistanceof
these windings.
3.3.2 TOCLEANTHEGENERATOR
* Usea damp cloth to wipe exteriorsurfaces clean.
* A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
* A vacuumcleanermay beusedto pick up loosedirt anddebris.
* 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.
3.3.3 ENG/NEMAINTENANCE
//_When working on the generator, always
disconnect negative cable from battery. Also
disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and
keep wire away from spark plug.
3.3.4 CHECK/NGOILLEVEL
Seethe "BeforeStartingthe Generator"sectionfor informationon
checkingthe oil level.The oil levelshould be checkedbefore each
use, or at least every eight hours of operation.Keepthe oil level
maintained.
