NOTE: This engine requires 1. qts of oil if it is
completely drained. Use caution when refilling the
engine as some residual oil may have remained in
the engine. Always use the dipstick when filling the
engine with oil to prevent overfilling.
e. Replace filler plug.
f Start the engine and warm it up.
h. After warming up the engine, recheck the oil
level and refill as necessary to bring it to the
proper level.
. Checking the Oil Level: The oil level must al-
ways be checked before the engine is started. Take
care to remove any dirt or debris from around the
oil fill plug before removing. Be sure the oil level is
maintained. Fill to the “ FULL” mark on the dipstick.
3. Dual Element Air Filter: Clean and/or replace
foam pre-cleaner and air filter annually or every 100
hours. Service more often under dusty conditions.
WARNING: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never start or run the engine with the air filter re-
moved
a. Remove the wing nut from the air cleaner cover
and remove cover.
b. Remove the wing nut from the air filter, and
remove the filter.
d. Remove the foam filter element from the paper
filter element.
e, Inspect both filter elements, and replace them
if they are damaged. Always replace the paper
filter element at the scheduled interval.
See page 11.
f. To loosen debris, gently tap the air filter on a
hard surface. If the air filter is excessively dirty
replace with a new filter. You can use pres-
surized air (not to exceed 30 psi.) to clean the
filter. Always blow the compressed air from
inside to the outside.
g. Wash the foam filter element in liquid detergent
and water. Then allow it to thoroughly air dry.
Dip the foam filter element in clean engine oil
and squeeze out all the excess oil. The engine
will smoke when started if too much oil is left in
the foam.
h. Clean the dirt from the inside of the air cleaner
body and cover. Be careful to prevent dirt from
entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.
Reinstall the air filter in housing making sure
the gasket is in place beneath the filter element.
Tighten the wing nut securely.
I Install and secure the cover.
4. Spark Plug: Replace annually or every 300 hours
of operation. Always replace with the same spark
plug that came in the engine and check gap before
installing. Spark plug gap is 0.030”. Poor spark will
also occur if spark plug wire does not fit firmly on
spark plug. If this happens, reform the terminal to fit
firmly on spark plug tip.
5. Carbon Canister: Designed to collect, store, and
dispose of fuel vapors created in the fuel tank/fuel
system. The canister should last the life of the unit
as long as it stays dry.
GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is
necessary to ensure a long, trouble-free life.
1. Exercising The Generator - The generator
should be operated every three to four weeks. It
should be operated for a period of time sufficient to
warm the unit up and to dry out any moisture that
has accumulated in the windings. If left, this mois-
ture can cause corrosion in the winding. Frequent
operation of the engine generator set will also ensure
that the set is operating properly should it be needed
in an emergency.
. Generator Maintenance - Any major genera-
tor service, including the installation or replacement
of parts, should be performed only by a qualified
electrical service technician. USE ONLY FACTORY
APPROVED REPAIR PARTS.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators
is a heavy duty double sealed ball bearing.
They require no maintenance or lubrication.

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas,
clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air
filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
This type of damage is not covered by the
Distributor’s Limited
Warranty.
Refer to pages for instructions that apply to the air cleaner
and filter for your engine type.
Remove the wing nut from
the air cleaner cover, and
remove the cover.
Remove the wing nut from
the air filter, and remove the
filter.
Remove the foam filter from
the paper filter.
Inspect both air filter
elements, and replace them if
they are damaged. Always
replace the paper air filter
element at the scheduled
interval (see page
).
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
Place a suitable container below the reduction case to catch the
used oil, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, the drain plug
and washer.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain
plug and a new washer, and tighten it securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground
or down a drain.
Transmission oil capacity: 0.30 (0.32 US qt , 0.26 Imp qt)
Running the engine with a low transmission oil level can cause
transmission damage.
Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements.
Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged
filter elements. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check
the oil level.
With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on
the dipstick with the recommended oil (see page
). To check
the oil level, insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it
into the filler hole.
