4.4 FUEL
Turn the fuel cap 14 lever to "OFF" position before
transporting.
Use automotive fuel (Unleaded or low leaded is
preferred to minimize combustion chamber deposits).
Gasoline is used without oil.
!! Don't use fuel containing alcohol: Fuel
system damage or engine performance
problems resulting from the use of fuels
that contain alcohol are not covered under
the warranty.
After refuelling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated
area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area
where the engine is refuelled o gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure
the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling. Spilled fuel
or fuel vapour may ignite, If any fuel is spilled, make
sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapour.
Keep out of reach of children
4.5 AIR FILTER
Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and
in good condition.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side
maintenance cover.
Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner body,
remove the air cleaner cover, and check the element.
Clean or replace the element if necessary.
Never run the engine without the air
cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from
contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being
drawn through the carburettor, into the
engine.

4.6 AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Adirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburettor.
To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air
cleaner regularly.
Service more frequently when operating the generator
in extremely dirty areas.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
- Loosen the cover screw and remove the maintenance
cover.
- Remove the screw under the air filter box.
- Pull the air filter cover down 30mm and remove the
air filter cover.
- Remove the air filter iron clip and check the air filter
element. Clean or replace the element if necessary.
- Reinstall the air filter parts after cleaning or replacing
air filter element.

4.7 MAINTENANCE OF THE SPARK PLUG

Please use high quality authentic spark plug. To
ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must
be properly gapped and free of deposits.
- Remove the bolts on the panel and the controlling
panel.
- Take out the ignition coil rubber boot.
- Remove the spark plug with spark plug wrench.
- Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the
insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean spark plug with
a wire brush if it is to be reused.
- Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid
crossthreading.
- After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it
should be tightened ½ turn with a wrench to compress
its washer. If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should
only require 1/8 to 1/4 turns after being seated.
- Reinstall the ignition coil rubber boot on the spark
plug securely.
- Reinstall the controlling panel.
The spark plug must be securely tightened.
An improperly tightened plug can become
very hot
generator.
Never use a spark plug with an improper heat
range.

4.8 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during
temporary storage, the generator should be secured
upright in its normal operating position, with the engine
switch OFF. The fuel cap vent lever is turned counter
clockwise to the OFF position. Allow the engine to cool
well before turning the fuel cap vent lever to the OFF
position.
When transporting generator:
Do not overfill the tank. (there should be no fuel in the
filler neck)
Do not operate the generator while it is on a vehicle.
Take the generator off the vehicle and use it in a well
ventilated place.
Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting
the generator on a vehicle. If the generator is left in
an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high temperature
inside the vehicle could cause fuel to vapor ze resulting
in a possible explosion.
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period
with the generator on board. If you must transport
the generator on board. If you must transport the
generator on a rough road, drain the fuel from the
generator beforehand.
