under dusty conditions.
a. Remove knob and cover.
b. Remove foam pre-cleaner by sliding it off the
paper cartridge.
c.
Wash foam pre-cleaner in kerosene or liquid
detergent and water
d.
Wrap foam pre-cleaner in cloth and squeeze
dry.
e.
Saturate foam pre-cleaner in engine oil.
Squeeze to remove excess oil.
f.
Install foam pre-cleaner over paper cartridge.
Reassemble cover and screw down tight.
Replace the cartridge included with Dual Element Air Cleaner
yearly or every 100 hours. Service more often if necessary.
Spark Plug
Clean and reset gap at .030" every 100 hours of operation.
Do not blast clean spark plug. Clean by scraping or wire
brushing and washing with a commercial solvent. Poor
spark will occur if terminal does not fit firmly on spark plug. If
this happens reform the terminal to fit firmly on spark plug tip.
GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is
necessary to insure a long trouble free life.
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 (15 to 20 minutes). If left, this moisture can
cause corrosion in the winding. Frequent operation of the
engine generator set will also insure that the set is operating
properly should it be needed in an emergency.
Generator Maintenance
Any major generator service including the installation or
replacement of parts should be performed only by a qualified
electrical service technician. USE ONLY FACTORY
APPROVED REPLACEMENT PARTS.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators
is a heavy duty double sealed ball bearing. They
require no maintenance or lubrication.
b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been
utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or
otherwise damaged, replace it. Using damaged or
cracked receptacles can be both dangerous to the
operator and destructive to the equipment.
CLEANING
Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. DO NOT use
high pressure spray to clean either the engine or the
generator. This high pressure spray could contaminate the
fuel system and the generator components.
1. Keep the air inlet screen on both the engine and
generator free of any dirt or debris to insure proper
cooling. At least yearly remove the blower housing on the
engine and clean the chaff and dirt out of the engine
cooling fins and flywheel. Clean more often if necessary.
Failure to keep these areas clean may cause
overheating and permanent damage to the unit.
2. Periodically clean muffler area to remove all grass,
dirt and combustible debris to prevent a fire.
3. On engine mufflers equipped with spark arresters,
the spark arrester must be removed every 50 hours for
cleaning and inspection. Replace if damaged.
