Always use compatible or Westinghouse OEM spark
plugs. Use of resistor-type spark plug can result in rough
idling, misfire, or may prevent the engine from starting.
Inspect and clean the spark plugs after every 100 hours of
use or six months. Replace the spark plugs after 300 hours
of use or every year.
1. Place the generator on a level surface and allow the
engine to cool.
2. See Figure 1. Remove the spark plug boots by firmly
pulling the boot directly away from the engine.

Clean the area around the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plugs with the included spark plug
socket wrench.
Never apply any side load or move the spark plug
laterally when removing the spark plug.
5. Inspect the spark plugs. Replace if electrodes are
pitted, burned, or the insulator is cracked. Only use a
recommended replacement plug.
6. See Figure 2. Measure the spark plug electrode gap
with a wire-type feeler gauge. If necessary, correct the
gap by carefully bending the side electrode.

SPARK ARRESTOR SERVICE
spark arrestor. Inspect and clean the spark arrestor after
every 100 hours of use or six months. Failure to clean the
spark arrestor will result in degraded engine performance.
1. Place the generator on a level surface.
2. See Figure 3. Carefully remove the carbon deposits
from the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. The
spark arrestor must be free of breaks and tears. Use
compressed air to clear removed deposits.
FUEL FILTER
