Warning!
Using gasoline or other flammable solvents can cause a fire or
explosion. Do not operate this product without an air filter.
A dirty air lter will restrict air ow into the carburetor. Clean and maintain the air
lter regularly, especially in dusty areas.
NOTE
Never run the generator without an air filter, doing so will quickly
degrade the engine.

2. Unscrew and remove the air lter assembly.
3. Remove the foam lter.
4. If the foam element is dirty, clean it in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow it
to dry thoroughly, or clean in non-ammable solvent and allow to dry.
5. Dip the foam element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all excess oil.
The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the lter.
6. Wipe dirt from the air lter assembly and reinstall into
the unit.
