filter must lock into slots on cover.

8. Install the cover, foam precleaner and paper filter.
9. Replace knob to retain the filter in place.

Clean all foreign material from the air intake screen
(Figure 3.4) at least once every 100 hours of opera-
tion. Clean more often if necessary.
Inspect the area around the generator exhaust muf-
fler periodically and remove all grass, leaves, dirt,
etc., from this area.

Clean the spark plug and reset the spark plug gap
every 100 hours of operation.
1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plug

to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by
scraping or washing using a wire brush and com-
mercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plug to
clean.

2. Remove the spark plug and check the condition.

Replace the spark plug if worn or if reuse is ques-
tionable.

3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler

gauge. Adjust the gap to 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) 
by carefully bending the ground electrode 
(Figure 3.5).

Remove and replace the fuel filter (Figure 3.6) 
once each year or every 100 hours of operation,
whichever comes first.

If the generator is not equipped with a spark arrestor
exhaust muffler and is to be used on any forest cov-
ered, brush covered or grass covered unimproved
land, you may have to install a spark arrestor. The
spark arrestor must be maintained in effective work-
ing order by the vehicle owner/operator.
For assistance in ordering, installing and maintaining
spark arrestor exhaust mufflers, contact your nearest
Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
Exhaust mufflers supplied by Generac are spark
arrestor types. Generac exhaust mufflers for recre-
ational vehicle generators do not have a spark
arrestor screen, but are of the more efficient “toroid”
or “swirl” type. To remove carbon and combustion
deposits from such mufflers, remove the plug from
the muffler and run the engine for approximately 15
minutes. Shut down the engine, let the muffler cool
and install the plug.
