SPARK ARRESTOR SERVICE
Allow the muffler to cool completely before servicing the
spark arrestor. Check and clean the spark arrestor after
every 100 hours of use or six months. Failure to clean the
spark arrestor will result in degraded engine performance.
1. Place the generator on a level surface.
2. Slide in screwdriver into side slot and remove screw
holding clamp (A) on spark arrestor. Pull out spark
arrestor assembly.
3. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark
arrestor screen with a wire brush. The spark arrestor
must be free of breaks and tears. Replace the spark
arrestor if damaged.
4. Reinstall the spark arrestor.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free
operation and generator longevity.
NOTICE
Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate,
causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines,
fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup
restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use
of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage life of
gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
