Maintaining the Fuel System
Engine Air Cleaner
WARNING
Gaseous vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion
can cause severe burns or death.
• Never start and run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly (if equipped) or the air filter (if equipped)
removed.
1. Push the ON/OFF switch on the back of the
generator to the OFF (0) position.
2. Remove utility power to the generator to de-energize
the battery charger.
3. Unlock and open the roof as described in the Access
Panels section.
4. Remove the 15-amp fuse from the fuse holder located
below the controller.
5. Disconnect the negative (-) cable at the battery.
6. Remove the filter cartridge.
7. Clean the outlet tube and check the dust unloader
valve (if equipped). Use a clean cloth to wipe the
filter sealing surface and the outlet tube surfaces.
Remove all contaminants before inserting the new
filter. Do not damage the sealing area on the tube.
Check and squeeze the dust unloader valve attached
to the service cover and ensure it is flexible and not
inverted, damaged, or plugged.
8. Clean the filter. Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dirt
and a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and debris.
Replace the filter cartridge if you find any holes in the
filter media.
9. Install the clean filter correctly, inserting the filter
carefully. Seat the filter by hand, ensuring it is
completely seated in the air cleaner housing before
putting the cover in place.
10. Install the service cover. Ensure that all mounting
bands, clamps, bolts, and connections in the entire
air cleaner system are tight. Check for any holes in
the piping and repair them if necessary.
11. Connect the negative (-) cable at the battery.
12. Install the 15-amp fuse into the fuse holder.
13. Close and lock the roof.
14. Restore utility power to the generator.
15. Push the ON/OFF switch on the back of the
generator to the ON (I) position.
16. Set the generator mode to auto.
Maintaining the Exhaust System
WARNING
Contact with the muler area
could cause burns, resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust
gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching it.
Check the following when inspecting the exhaust system:
• Inspect the exhaust system manifold at the cylinder
head for leaks.
• Check that all remaining bolts and shields (if used) are
in place.
• Inspect the fasteners between the manifold and the
exhaust pipe to ensure they are tight and that no
exhaust leaks exist. Repair any leaks if necessary.
• Inspect the exhaust pipe connection for leaks. Repair
any leaks if necessary.
Using or operating the engine without a spark arrester
on the exhaust system (as defined in Section 4442) on
any land covered with forest, brush, or grass violates
California Public Resource Code, Section 4442. Also, the
code specifies that the arrester must be maintained and
in eective working order. Other states may have similar
laws. See Federal Regulation 36 CFT Part 261.52.
Maintaining the Fuel System
WARNING
Propane and natural
gas are extremely flammable and explosive, which
could cause burns, fire, or explosion, resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Inspect the fuel system periodically.
• NO leakage is permitted.
• DO NOT operate the engine if you smell fuel.
Pressure Regulator
The pressure and regulator components have been
specifically designed and calibrated to meet the engine’s
fuel system requirements.
If the regulator fails to operate or develops a leak,
repair or replace it with the proper OEM recommended
replacement parts. When inspecting the regulator, check
the following:
• Check for any fuel leaks at the inlet and outlet fittings.
• Check for any fuel leaks in the regulator body.
