Allow 3 times the listed watts for starting these
devices.
• If the appliance, tool, or motor does not give wattage,
multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts
(volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts only
a few seconds when starting such motors. Make sure
to allow for high starting wattage when selecting
electrical devices to connect to the generator:
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other
connected loads.

Dirt or debris can cause improper operation and
equipment damage. Clean generator daily or before
each use. Keep area around and behind muffler free
from combustible debris. Inspect all cooling air
openings on generator.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
• Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi)
may be used to blow away dirt. Inspect
cooling air slots and openings on generator.
These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter engine fuel system
and cause problems. If water enters generator
through cooling air slots, some water will be
retained in voids and crevices of rotor and stator
winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup
on generator internal windings will decrease
insulation resistance of windings.
Follow maintenance schedule intervals, whichever
occurs first according to use.
NOTE: Adverse conditions will require more frequent
service.
NOTE: All required service and adjustments should be
each season as detailed in the following chart.
Do not insert any object through the air cooling slots.
Generator can start at any time and could result in
death, serious injury, and unit damage.
WARNING
Accidental start-up. Disconnect spark plug wires when
working on unit. Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury.

Storage
General
Prepare Fuel System for Storage
Change Oil
It is recommended to start and run the generator for
30 minutes, every 30 days. If this is not possible, refer
to the following list to prepare unit for storage.
• DO NOT place a storage cover on a hot generator.
Allow unit to cool to room temperature before storage.
• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another
unless properly treated.
• Replace fuel container if rust is present. Rust in fuel
will cause fuel system problems.
• Cover unit with a suitable protective, moisture
resistant cover.
• Store unit in a clean and dry area.
• Always store generator and fuel away from heat and
ignition sources.
Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and damage
fuel system components. Keep fuel fresh, use fuel
stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system, prepare and
run engine for long term storage. Run engine for
10-15 minutes to circulate stabilizer throughout fuel
system. Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to
24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel stabilizer,
it must be drained into an approved container. Run
engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Use of fuel
stabilizer in fuel storage container is recommended to
keep fuel fresh.
1. Change engine oil.
2. Remove spark plug.
3. Pour tablespoon (5-10cc) of clean engine
oil or spray a suitable fogging agent into
cylinder.
4. Pull starter recoil several times to distribute oil in
cylinder.
5. Install spark plug.
6. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will
close valves so moisture cannot enter engine
cylinder. Gently release recoil.
Change engine oil before storage. See Change Engine
Oil.
DANGER
Risk of Fire. Hot surfaces could ignite
combustibles, resulting in fire. Fire could result
in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Risk of Fire. Verify machine has properly cooled
