son you cannot see or smell.  
Accidental starting of generator can cause severe injury or  
death. Before performing maintenance, disconnect spark  
plug cap from spark plug. Also disconnect both starting bat-  
tery cables. Remove the negative (-) cable first to reduce the  
risk of arcing.  
WARNING  
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before  
operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seri-  
ously hurt or killed. Always follow inspection and mainte-  
nance recommendations and schedules in this manual.  
Only use OUTSIDE and  
far away from windows,  
doors, and vents.  
NEVER use inside a home  
or garage, EVEN IF doors  
and windows are open.  
• Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance.  
If the engine must be run, be sure the area is well venti-  
lated.  
NOTICE  
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating con-  
ditions. If you operate generator under severe conditions,  
such as sustained high-load or high-temperature, or use it in  
unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing  
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual  
needs and use.  
NOTICE

CONSUMER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS  
Before each use, check the fuel tank gage. If the fuel level  
is low, refill the tank with recommended fuel. NEVER  
NOTICE  
OVERFILL.  
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful  
not to spill fuel when filling fuel tank. Damage caused by  
spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.  
DANGER  
TABLE 7-2. Oxygenated Fuel Types  
Fuel and fuel vapors are extremely flammable and  
explosive under certain conditions.  
Gasoline containing more  
than 10% ethanol by volume  
may cause starting or perfor-  
Ethanol  
mance problems. Gasoline  
(ethyl or grain alcohol)  
• Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated  
area.  
• NEVER fill fuel tank while engine is running. Turn gen-  
erator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel.  
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near genera-  
tor or where gasoline is stored.  
• NEVER overfill fuel tank (no fuel should be in filler  
neck). After refueling, tighten the fuel cap securely.  
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel  
or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, the area  
must be dry before starting the engine.  
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or  
breathing of vapor.  
containing ethanol may be  
marketed under the name  
"Gasohol".  
Gasoline containing metha-  
nol must contain co-solvents  
and corrosion inhibitors to  
protect fuel system. Gasoline  
Methanol  
containing more than 5%  
(methyl or wood  
methanol by volume may  
alcohol)  
cause starting and/or perfor-  
mance problems and may  
damage metal, rubber and  
plastic parts of fuel system.  
General Fuel Information  
Check the fuel gage located on the top of the generator  
near the fuel tank and refill the tank if fuel level is low.  
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the  
shoulder of fuel strainer. Use unleaded gasoline with a  
pump octane rating of 87 or higher.  
MTBE  
(methyl tertiary butyl  
ether)  
Gasoline containing up to  
15% MTBE by volume can  
be used.  
NEVER use stale or contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting  
dirt or water in the fuel tank. Always keep the fuel strainer  
in place while refueling.  
NOTICE  
To avoid damage to the engine, NEVER use stale or contam-  
inated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or  
water in the fuel tank.  
Oxygenated Fuels  
At certain times of the year, some U.S. locations may have  
only oxygenated fuel available. Oxygenated fuel is  
blended with alcohol or ether additives to increase octane  
quality, enhance combustion, and reduce exhaust emis-  
sions.  
Use fresh gasoline with a pump octane rating of 87 or  
higher.  
NOTICE  
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging  
can cause engine damage. Warranty does not cover parts  
damaged by misuse.  
Some areas of the United States use oxygenated fuels to  
help meet clean air standards.  
Before using an oxygenated fuel, ensure pump octane rat-  
ing is 87 or higher.  
Some states (and provinces in Canada) require this infor-  
mation to be posted on the fuel pump. If you notice unde-  
sirable operating symptoms, switch to a conventional  
unleaded gasoline.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE  
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS  
7.2 AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE  
NOTICE  
NOTICE  
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance  
and service life. NEVER use non-detergent or 2-stroke  
engine oils.  
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to carburetor, which may  
cause poor engine performance or damage.  
NEVER run the generator without the air cleaner assembly  
properly attached.  
• Use engine oils specified below.  
It is very important to maintain proper level of engine oil to  
keep engine in good running condition.  
Clean air filter every 50 hours of generator operation. If  
operating generator in extremely dusty areas, clean air fil-  
ter more frequently.  
• Check engine oil level prior to each use. Refill engine  
oil if oil level is too low.  
WARNING  
Use 4-stroke oil, or equivalent high detergent, premium  
quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automo-  
bile manufacturer's requirements for API Performance  
Class SL, SJ, or better.  
Gasoline and flammable solvents can cause fire or  
explosion. NEVER use gasoline or flammable sol-  
vent to clean air filter element.  
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general temperature  
use. Refer to Figure 7-1 for information on other viscosi-  
ties that may be used. Other viscosities shown in the chart  
may be used when the average temperature in your area  
is within the indicated range.  
• Use only household soap and water to clean air filter  
element.  
To clean air filter, you will need:  
% Household soap and water  
% Clean, dry cloth  
SAE 30, 10W-30  
Synthetic 5W-30  
% Clean engine oil

CLEANING FUEL SEDIMENT CUP  
7.3 CLEANING FUEL SEDIMENT CUP 7.4 SPARK PLUG SERVICE  
The sediment cup prevents any dirt or water that may be  
in the fuel tank from entering the carburetor.  
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must  
be properly gapped and free of deposits.  
Clean fuel sediment cup at the intervals specified in  
Table 7-1.  
WARNING  
If the engine has been running, the spark plug will  
reach temperatures that could cause severe burns.  
Do not touch.  
To clean fuel sediment cup, you will need:  
% 10 mm box wrench  
% 22 mm open end wrench  
% Household soap and water  
% Clean, dry cloth  
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire feeler gauge.  
Gap should be: 0.028-0.031 in. (0.70-0.80 mm).  
.028 - .031 in.  
(.70 - .80 mm)  
To clean fuel sediment cup:  
1. Stop the engine if it is running. Allow to completely  
cool.  
2. Place generator on a flat, level surface.  
3. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the OFF position.  
FIGURE 7-13: Correct Spark Plug Gap  
4. While holding the fitting above the fuel shut-off valve  
with a 22 mm open end wrench, remove the fuel sedi-  
ment cup assembly (sediment cup, o-ring, and fuel  
screen) using a 10 mm box wrench.  
2. If necessary, adjust gap by carefully bending side  
electrode.  
3. Torque spark plug to 28 N•m (21 lb. ft.).  
NOTICE  
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly  
tightened spark plug can become very hot and damage the  
engine. NEVER use spark plugs that have an improper heat  
range. Use only recommended spark plugs or equivalent.

ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS (ALL MODELS EXCEPT HW3000/L)  
Rated Power Check  
Alternator Check  
(Low Power Output)  
NOTE: At high-altitudes, standard  
carburetor air-fuel mixture will be  
rich causing a decrease in engine  
performance and an increase in  
fuel consumption.  
NOTE: The alternator must be at room temperature when resistance is measured.  
Refer to Illustrations on  
Page 8-9.

FUEL TANK SYSTEM  
9.4 FUEL TANK SYSTEM  
WARNING  
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.  
• Refuel the generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area.  
• NEVER enclose the generator in any structure.  
• Keep generator at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from buildings, other equipment, and combustible materials during oper-  
ation.  
• NEVER fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn the generator OFF and allow it to cool before filling with fuel.  
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the generator or where gasoline is stored.  
• NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, tighten the fuel cap securely.  
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, the area must be  
dry before starting the engine.  
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
