Storage

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30

days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the

generator for storage.
Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in

enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach

an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water

heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

Spark plugs

1. Remove spark plug (15) from the generator with the

spark plug spanner socket supplied.

2. Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
3. Check for discoloration on the top of the spark plug.

The standard colour should be a tan colour.

4. Check the spark plug gap. The acceptable gap should be

between 0.7–0.8mm (Fig. K).

5. The recommended spark plugs are as follows:
BPR6ES (NGK)

RN9Y (Champion)

W20EPR-U (Denso)

WR6DC (Bosch)

Engine oil replacement

1. Place the generator on a level surface and warm up the

engine for several minutes. The stop the engine.

2. Remove oil filler cap (7).
3. Place an oil pan under the generator and commence

removing the oil drain cock (11) so that the oil can be

completely drained.

4. Check the oil drain cock (11), gasket, oil filler cap (7) and

O-ring. If damaged, have these replaced.

5. Reinstall the oil drain cock (11).
6. Add engine oil to the upper level. Recommended 4 stroke

engine oil is SAE #30.

CAUTION.

Check that no foreign material, debris, dust

enters the crankcase.

Air filter

It is very important to maintain an air filter in proper

condition. Damage to the generator may arise if the

filter has:

•

Improperly been serviced.

•

Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter

due to improper installation and engine wear.

ALWAYS

keep the filter clean at all times.

1. Remove the air filter cover

(13) on the side of the

generator by lifting the 2

clips on both the top and

bottom of the air filter cover

(13) (Fig. L).

2. Remove the air filter

(Fig. M).

3. Wash the air filter in solvent

or kerosene and allow to dry.

4. Lubricate the filter using

motor oil (SAE #30).

5. Thoroughly squeeze the

filter removing excess oil.

6. Replace air filter back into

the engine.

7. Secure the cover back onto

the side panel of the generator.

IMPORTANT.

Never run the engine without the air filter

element in place.
