PREPARATION
Lubricate the governor arm ball joint with a dry type lubricant such as
powdered graphite to assure best performance and . longest liieof the ball
jOint. If graphite is not available, use light non-gummy oil.
AIR CLEANER. - Remove the oil cup from the bottom of the air cleaner.
Add oil of the same SAE number as used in the crank-
case, to the level indicated inside the cup, FIG. 23. Reinstall the cup.
GASOLINE FUEL. - The portable type plant has a 4 gallon rectangular
tank mounted over the generator. The stationary
type plant has a 5 gallon separate tank. Measures are U. S. Standards.
Fill the tank nearly full with clean, fresh, automotive type gasoline-of
at least 68 octane rating. Do not use a highly leaded premium type gas-
oline, as its use will necessitate more frequent carbon removal and spark
plug and valve service •. Do not fill the tank entirely full of cold gasoline.
Expansion of the fuel as the plant warms up may cause the gasolineto
overflow and result in a fire hazard. Observe the usual precautions
when handling gasoline. NEVER FILL THE TANK WHEN THE PLANT
IS RUNNING, BECAUSE OF FIRE HAZARD.
Open
all ofthefuel shut-off valves all the way to backseat and inspect
the fuel system for leaks.
If the preceding instructions have been followed, the plant should be
ready for operation. Before starting the plant, however, carefully study
.the
sections OPERATION and ABNORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
immediately following.
GAS FUEL. - If the plant will be run on gas fuel, see that the spark
plugs are adjusted to 0.018 inch gap. See that the reg-
. ulator is properly adjusted as directed under INSTALLATION. If·the
BTU rating of the gas to be used differs from that used in the test run
at the factory (1000 BTU), it will probably be necessary to make carb-
uretor gas adjustments. Refer to the ADJUSTMENTS section.
BEFORE INITIAL START. - Clean the spark plugs iri gaSOline before the
initial start to dispose of preservative oil
pla,cedin the cylinder before factory shipment.
. Long storage periods may cause the oil pump to lose its pr~me. If this
condition occurs, stop the engine, remove the oil relief valve, add oil
to the pressure line and reinstall the valve. Check the oil pressure.
