4) 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
wear will result.
