General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the generator. See any authorized dealer
for service.
The generator's warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better and
last longer. Follow requirements in Maintenance Schedule.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
See Emissions Warranty.
