a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.

Generator Maintenance

The generator's warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the
generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
correctly maintain your generator.
All service and adjustments must be made at least once each
season. Obey the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule
chart.
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean.
Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. The cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not
become clogged with snow, leaves, or other foreign material.
To prevent generator damage caused by overheating,
keep the enclosure cooling inlets and outlets clean and
unobstructed at all times.
Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible
on its exterior/interior surface. Inspect the air inlet and outlet
openings inside and outside the enclosure to make sure the
air flow is not blocked.
NOTICE: Incorrect treatment of generator can damage it and
shorten its life.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust,
dirt, or corrosive vapors.
