Cleaning the Air Filter Element
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the fuel system. To prevent fuel system malfunction, clean the air filter element
as recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. Clean more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dirty
areas with high dust or sand. Use a soapy solution or non-flammable solvent to clean the air filter element.
▲ Never run the generator without the air filter element; rapid engine wear may result.
