GENERALRECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenancewill improve the performance and
extendthe life of the generator. Seea Sears or other qualified
dealerfor 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
generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.

GENERATORMAINTENANCE
Generatormaintenanceconsists of keepingthe unit clean and
dry. Operateand store the unit in a clean dry environment
where it will not be exposedto excessive dust, dirt, moisture
or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator
must not becomeclogged with snow, leaves, or any other
foreign material.
Checkthe cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean
when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are
visible on its exterior surface.
NOTE:DO NOTuse 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 of the water will be retained in voids and cracks
of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually
decreasethe insulation resistance of these windings.
Generator Cleaning
Daily or before use,clean accumulated debris from
generator. Keeplinkage,spring and controls clean. Keeparea
around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator.
Theseopenings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Generator parts should be kept clean to reducethe risk of
overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of generator can damage it and
shorten its life.
DONOTexposegeneratorto excessivemoisture,dust,dirt, or
corrosivevapors.
