3.2.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air
Resource Board (CARB) require that your generator comply with
exhaust and evaporative emission standards. This generator is
certified to meet the applicable EPA and CARB emission levels.
Additional information regarding the requirements set by EPA and
CARB is as follows:
It is important that you follow the maintenance specifications
provided in this manual to ensure that your engine complies with
the applicable emission standards for the duration of the engine's
life. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission
control system on your generator consists of the following:
• Fuel System
– Fuel Tank
– Fuel Cap
– Carburetor
– Fuel Lines
• Evaporative Control System
– Carbon Canister
– Vapor Hoses
12
w/o Filter Change = 1.2 Qts.
• Air Induction System
– Intake pipe/manifold
– Air cleaner
Ignition System
•
Spark plug
–
Ignition module
–
Exhaust System
•
Pulse Air Injection Valve
–
Muffler
–
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal and California
emission requirements. See the table below to determine the
compliance period for your generator. The displacement of your
generator is listed on the Emissions Compliance Label.

3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the generator 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.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should
be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the
"Maintenance Schedule".
Once a year replace the spark plug and replace the air filter.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and help the engine run better and last longer.
3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry.
Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will
not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged
with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on
its exterior surface.
Never insert any object or tool through the air cooling
slots, even if the engine is not running.
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can
enter the engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition,
if water enters the generator through cooling air slots, some
water will be retained in voids and crevices of the rotor
and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the
generator internal windings will eventually decrease the
insulation resistance of these windings.
