2. Service information
2.1 The importance of proper servicing

Proper servicing is essential to the safety of the operator and the reliability of the engine. Any error or
oversight made by the technician while servicing can easily result in faulty operation, damage to the
engine or injury to the operator.
 Improper servicing can cause an unsafe condition that can lead to

serious injury or death.
 Follow the procedures and precautions in this shop manual carefully.
 Some of the most important precautions are given below. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance or repairs. Only you can decide whether you
should perform a given task.
 Failure to follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause
you to be seriously hurt or killed. Follow the procedures and precautions
in this shop manual carefully.
2.2 Important safety precautions

Be sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing
appropriate clothing and safety equipment. When performing maintenance or repairs, be especially
careful of the following:
 Read the instructions before you begin, and be sure you have the tools
and skills required to perform the tasks safely.
 Be sure that the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will reduce the possibility of several hazards:
a.) Be careful to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from engine
exhaust.
b.) Make sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you run the
engine.
c.) Be careful to avoid burns from hot engine parts and hot exhaust.
d.) Let the engine cool before you touch it.
e.) Be careful to avoid injury from moving parts
■ Do not run the engine unless the service manual instructs you to do so.
When the engine is running, keep your hands, fingers, and clothing away
from moving parts.
■ To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to
clean parts. Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from fuel and
all fuel-related parts.

2.3 Service rules
1. Use genuine POWERHOUSE® or POWERHOUSE®-recommended parts and lubricants or their
equivalents. Parts that do not meet POWERHOUSE® design specifications may damage the
engine.
2. Always install new gaskets, O-rings, etc. when reassembling.
3. When tightening bolts or nuts, begin with larger-diameter or inner bolts first and tighten to the
specified torque diagonally, unless a particular sequence is specified.
4. Clean parts in cleaning solvent upon disassembly. Lubricate any sliding surfaces before
reassembly.
5. After reassembly, check all parts for proper installation and operation.
6. Many screws used in this machine are self-tapping. Be aware that cross-threading or over
tightening these screws will strip the threads and damage the hole.
7. Use only metric tools when servicing this engine. Metric bolts, nuts and screws are not
interchangeable with non metric fasteners. The use of incorrect tools and fasteners will damage
the engine.
■ Electric precautions
1. Hold the connector body to disconnect the connector. Do not disconnect by pulling the wire
harness. To disconnect the locking connector, be sure to unlock first, and then disconnect.
2. Check the connector terminals for bent pins, excessive stretching, missing terminals, or other
abnormalities before connecting the connector.
3. To connect, insert the connector completely into the receptacle. If the connector is a locking type,
be sure that it is locked securely.
4. Check the connector cover for cracks or other damage and make sure the connector female
terminal fits snugly into the connector. Then, connect the connector securely. Check the
connector terminal for rust. Remove any rust using an emery paper or equivalent material before
connecting the connector.
5. Secure the harness clips in the specified locations on the frame, and clamp the wire harnesses.
6. Clamp the wire harnesses securely so that they do not interfere with rotating parts, moving parts
or hot parts.
7. Route and connect the wire harnesses as shown in the service manual. Be sure that the
harnesses are not loose, twisted or pulled tight.
8. Route the wire harnesses properly so that they do not contact with shape edges or corners, or
the end of any bolts or screws.
9. If a wire harness contacts the end of any bolts or screws or sharp edges or corners, protect that
part of the harness with a tube or by wrapping with an insulating tape. If the wire harness has a
grommet, install the grommet securely.
10. Take care not to pinch the wire harnesses during installation of a part. If a wire harness has the
damaged insulation, repair by winding with the electrician’s insulating tape.
11. Before using the tester, carefully read the manufacturer’s instructions and follow the instructions
in this Service Manual. Be sure that the test unit’s battery is fully charged and verify that the unit
is operating correctly before you begin testing.

2.4 Serial number location
The generator’s engine serial number identifies your particular unit and is required when ordering parts
and accessories. The generator serial number is also used by your dealer and Coast Distribution for
warranty administration and must be supplied before any work can be done.
The engine serial number can be found stamped on the engine block
above the oil dipstick. It is visible when the engine oil access cover is
removed.

2. They should be approximately 300vac at each test with the engine running at high speed. If one
or more of the three tests fail, the problem is either a damaged wire harness or a defective
alternator. If the wire harness is the problem, look for and repair the damage.
3. If the alternator is the problem, the stator will need to be replaced. If all three tests are OK, the
problem is probably the inverter.

3.15 Engine will not shut off with ignition key, remote or stop button
For safety, we recommend turning off the fuel valve instead of pulling off the spark plug wire.
What to check for:

1. Turn on the fuel valve and restart the engine.
2. Using a volt ohm meter check the battery charge receptacle. There should be between 12 and
14 volts DC. If no voltage is present check all connections to and from the voltage regulator.
3. Check to make sure that there is a good ground between the voltage regulator ground wire,
engine and control panel. A bad ground will prevent the unit from shutting down properly.
4. Locate and unplug the two blue wires between the stator and voltage regulator. With the engine
running the voltage from the stator must be 12-20VAC. If no voltage is present the stator is
defective. If voltage is present replace the voltage regulator.
5. If voltage is present at the control panel, make sure that the remote switch on the control panel is
in the off position.
6. Check the 6-pin connection between the remote receiver and control panel looking for any loose
or broken wires. If no problems are found replace the remote receiver.
