Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground, or down a drain.
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.
NOTICE: Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear 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
if too much oil is left
in the element.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner element wand the cover.
