OPERATION Always abide by the safety warnings provided with the battery. NOTE: Most batteries will be completely charged after 30 to 120 minutes. However, it is highly recommended that you refer to your battery manufacturer's instructions for specific charge times. n Unplug battery charging cable assembly and store for later use. MOVING THE GENERATOR See Figure 9. n Place the auto idle switch in the off position. At the off position, the fuel valve will be closed and prevent any gas flow. n Allow 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storing the machine. n Pull the retractable handle out or carry by the carry handles. n Facing the front of the generator, grasp the folding handle firmly with one hand. n Lift the generator toward you until it balances on the wheels. n Turn around and pull the unit along behind you to the desired location. n Lower the generator until it sits securely on a flat surface. HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION Your engine is configured for operation below 2,000 feet altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for operation above 2,000 feet altitude. Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade performance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure that your engine is properly configured for your location. MAINTENANCE Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any qualified repair establishment or individual with original or equivalent parts. Warranty and recall repairs must be performed by an authorized service center; please contact customer service for assistance. WARNING: Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug. Allow 30 minutes of cool down time before performing any maintenance. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage. WARNING: When servicing, use only recommended or equivalent replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage. NOTICE: Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not operate this product until all missing or damaged parts are replaced. Please contact customer service or a qualifed service center for assistance. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Keep the generator in a clean and dry environment where it is not exposed to dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive vapors. Do not allow the cooling air slots in the generator to become clogged with foreign material such as leaves, etc. Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water entering the fuel system or other internal parts of the unit can cause problems that will decrease the life of the generator. To clean the unit: n Use a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner to loosen and remove dirt and debris. n Clean air vents with low pressure air that does not exceed 25 psi. n Wipe the exterior surfaces of the generator with a damp cloth. 15 - English
