In order to keep the generator in good operating condition, periodic maintenance and adjustment is required. Perform the service and inspection at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual.

The following is a general guideline for servicing. Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations:

Each use: Check oil level and air filter.
First month or 20 hours: Change engine oil.
Every 3 months or 50 hours: Clean air filter.
Every 6 months or 100 hours: Change engine oil, clean sediment cup, check/clean spark plug, clan spark arrester.
Every year or 300 hours: Check/adjust valve clearance, clean fuel tanks and strainer.
Every 2 years: Check fuel line, and replace if necessary.

100 hours on an oil change? Seems like a long time, been changing mine out ever 25 hours or so.
