Service Spark Arrester
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrester screen.
Inspect and clean the screen every 100 hours of operation or
once each year, whichever comes first.
If you use your generator on any forest-covered, brush-
covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have
a spark arrester. The spark arrester must be maintained in
good condition by the owner/operator.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot.
Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
wARNING
Contact with muffler area can result in serious
burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of
generator including overhead.
• Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and
Public Property require equipment powered by an internal
combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in
effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service
standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a
spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California
Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.
clean and inspect the spark arrester as follows:
1. To remove muffler heat shield (A) from muffler (b),
remove four screws that connect guard to muffler
bracket.
2. Remove three screws (c) that attach spark arrester
screen (D).
3. Inspect screen and obtain a replacement if torn,

Air cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have an authorized service
dealer clean the cooling system (E) per recommended
intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of
Maintenance section). Equally important is to keep top of
engine free from debris. See Cleaning.
carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. Top speed has
been set at the factory. If adjustment is required, see an
authorized service dealer.
Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury
and damage to generator.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
• DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed
speed.
• DO NOT modify generator in any way.
