Service the oil filter as follows (fig. l, page 13):
➤ Prepare the maintenance work and pull the generator out of the housing
slightly: see chapter “Preparing maintenance work” on page 40.
➤ Remove the butterfly nut (1) and the filter cover (2).
➤ Remove the butterfly nut (3).
➤ Take out the air filter (4).
The air filter consists of two parts: a sponge filter and a paper filter.
➤ Check the condition of both parts of the filter carefully. Replace the dam-
aged filter parts.
➤ Clean the undamaged filter parts; see the following section.
➤ Finish the maintenance work, see chapter “Finishing maintenance work”
on page 40.
Cleaning the sponge filter
➤ Wash the sponge with a neutral detergent solution and rinse it thoroughly.
➤ Leave the sponge to dry completely.
➤ Soak the sponge in fresh engine oil.
➤ Squeeze out the excess oil.
WARNING! Danger of explosions
Do not use diesel oil or solvents with low boiling points for clean-
ing the air filter. They could ignite or explode.
NOTICE!
Never leave the engine running without an air filter. Otherwise this
quickly wears out the engine.
NOTE
If the air filter is dirty, the air flow to the carburettor is reduced.
Check the filter regularly so that the carburettor can function prop-
erly. Check this more frequently if the generator is being used in
particularly dusty environments.
