SECTION 3. MAINTENANCE
3-4 Fuel Sediment Cup Cleaning
The fuel sediment cup prevents dirt or water
which may be in the fuel tank from entering the
carburetor. If the generator has not been run for a
long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned.

then drain off fuel from fuel tank ③
2) Hold and move downward the clamp④,
then pull off the hose⑤ from the tank
3) Take out the fuel filter⑥
4) Wash the fuel filter with gasoline
5) Wipe dry the fuel filter and put it bank into
tank
6) Reinstall the hose and clamp, then open
the fuel valve to check whether it has leak
7) Reinstall the cover and tighten the screws.
Gasoline is extremely flammable
and explosive. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the work area.
After reassembly, check for leaks,
and make sure the work area is dry before
starting the engine.
3-5 Spark Arrester
A hot muffler can cause severe
burns. Allow the generator set to cool before
servicing the muffler.
Refer to MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE for
scheduled spark arrester cleaning. After letting the
generator set cool down, remove the spark arrester
screen. Inspect for damage, and replace if it is
defective. Clean any deposits on the screen with a
wire brush. Reinstall the spark arrester, and tighten
the screw securely.
