CLEANING THE GENERATOR
It is important to inspect and clean the generator before
every use.
Clean All Engine Air Inlet and Outlet Ports – Make
sure all engine air inlet and outlet ports are clean of any
dirt and debris to ensure the engine does not run hot.
Clean All Engine Cooling Fins – Use a damp rag and
a brush to loosen and remove all dirt on or around the
engine’s cooling ns.
Clean All Alternator Cooling Air Inlets and Exhaust
Ports – Make sure the cooling air inlets and exhaust
ports of the alternator are free of any debris and ob-
structions. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and
debris stuck in the cooling air inlets and exhaust ports.
General Cleaning of the Generator – Use a damp rag
to clean all remaining surfaces.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING VALVE LASH
CAUTION
Checking and adjusting valve lash
must be done when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the rocker arm cover and carefully remove
the gasket. If the gasket is torn or damaged, it must
be replaced.
2. Remove the spark plug so the engine can be
rotated more easily.
3. Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC) of the
compression stroke. Looking through the spark
plug hole, the piston should be at the top.
4. Both the rocker arms should be loose at TDC on
the compression stroke. If they are not, rotate the
engine 360°.
5. Insert a feeler gauge between the rocker arm and
the push rod and check for clearance (see Figure
23). See Table 2 for valve lash specications
