7.2 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.
■ Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
■ Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid
engine wear may result.
(1) Unsnap the clips, remove the air cleaner cover.
(2) If the paper element is dirty, replace it with a new one. Do not clean the paper
element. If the rubber housing is brittle or distorted or the element does not completely
seal inside the cover, replace the element.
(3) Reinstall the air cleaner cover.
