GENERAL MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored. NEVER operate a damaged or defective generator.

NOTE: Should you have questions about replacing components on your BSPP generator, please call

1-800-743-4115 for assistance.

Engine Maintenance

See engine operator’s manual for instructions.

CAUTION

• Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.

• Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE

RESOURCES. RETURN USED OIL TO

COLLECTION CENTERS.

Generator Maintenance

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves or any other foreign material.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots, some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR

GENERATOR

• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

Battery Maintenance

Other than float charging, described elsewhere, no maintenance is required for the starting battery. Keep the battery and terminals clean and dry.

IMPORTANT: Battery charging should be performed in a dry location, such as inside a garage.

Generator Cleaning

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

CAUTION

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.

• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.

• Inspect cooling air slots and opening on generator.

These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
