Spark Plug Servicing
Useonlygoodqualitysparkplugs.Toensureproperengineoperation,
thesparkplugmustbeproperlygappedandfreeofdeposits.
1. Pull out the spark plug lead.
2. Remove the spark plug using
the spark plug wrench supplied
by turning it anti-clockwise.

metal brush and remove any
carbon build-up or replace the
spark plug. Set the electrode
gap to 0.6 - 0.7mm 0.6 - 0.7mm
4. Installthesparkplugcarefullybyhand,toavoidcrossthreading.
Tighten it securely with Spark plug wrench.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Circuit Breaker Trips During Use
Ifthecircuitbreakertripsduringuse,itusuallyindicatesfaultyelectrical
equipmentorcords.Followthestepsbelowtodetermineiftheissue
lies with the circuit breaker or with equipment/cords.
1.Disconnectloads,resetandtestthecircuitbreakerasdescribedin
the “Checking the Residual Current Circuit Breaker”sectionof
this manual.
2.Letthegeneratorrunwithoutanyloadsfor1minute.
3.Ifthecircuitbreakertripsinthe1minuteperiod,donotcontinue
to use the generator. Shut the generator down and contact Ozito
Customer Service.
4.Ifthecircuitbreakertestscorrectly,theelectricalequipmentor
extensioncordsmaybefaulty.Replacefaultyelectricalequipment
andcordsbeforefurtheruse.Havequaliedpersonnelcheckall
