MAINTENANCE
Air cleaner service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter
element can cause a fire or explosion. Use only soapy water or
nonflammable solvent.
Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine
war will result.
1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover clips,
remove the air cleaner cover, and
remove the element.
2. Wash the element in a solution of
household detergent and warm
water, then rinse thoroughly; or wash
in nonflammable or high flash point
solvent. Allow the element to dry
thoroughly.
3. Soak the element in clean engine
oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
The engine will smoke during initial
start-up it too much oil is left in the
element.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.
