Precautions for Generator Maintenance
1. Before service, maintenance, or cleaning:
a. Unplug all devices from the generator.
b. Turn the engine switch to its “OFF” position.
c. Allow the engine to completely cool.
d. Then, remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
2. Keep all safety guards in place and in proper working order. Safety guards include mufflers, air
cleaners, mechanical guards, and heat shields, among other guards.
3. Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry.
Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked, cut, abraded, or otherwise degraded.
Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded.
Keep terminals clean and tight.
4. Do not alter or adjust any part of the equipment or its engine that is sealed by the manufacturer or distributor. Only a qualified service technician may adjust parts that may increase or decrease governed engine speed.
5. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during service.
6. Maintain labels and nameplates on the equipment. These carry important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact Aceup Energy for a replacement.
7. Have the equipment serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the equipment is maintained. Do not attempt any service or maintenance procedures not explained in this manual or any procedures that you are uncertain about your ability to perform safely or correctly.
8. Store equipment out of the reach of children.
9. Follow scheduled engine and equipment maintenance.
