SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Air Filter Element Maintenance
1. Remove the air lter cover and the
air lter elements and check for dirt.
Clean or replace as described below.
2. Cleaning:
• For “paper” lter elements:
To prevent injury from dust and debris,
wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, and
heavy-duty work gloves. In a well-ventilated
area away from bystanders, use pressurized
air to blow dust out of the air lter. If this does
not get the lter clean, replace it.
• For foam lter elements:
Wash the element in warm water and
mild detergent several times. Rinse.
Squeeze out excess water and allow it to dry
completely. Soak the lter in lightweight oil
briey, then squeeze out the excess oil.
3. Install the new lter or the cleaned lter.
Secure the Air Cleaner Cover before use.
Spark Plug Maintenance
1. Disconnect spark plug cap from end of plug.
Clean out debris from around spark plug.
2. Using a spark plug
wrench, remove
the spark plug.
3. Inspect the spark
plug:
If the electrode is
oily, clean it using
a clean, dry rag. If
the electrode has
deposits on it, polish
it using emery paper. If the white insulator is cracked
or chipped, the spark plug needs to be replaced.
NOTICE: Using an incorrect spark plug may
damage the engine. See the Specications chart
for your Generator for the type and gap required.
4. When installing a new spark plug, adjust
the plug’s gap to the specication on the
Specications chart. Do not pry against the
electrode, the spark plug can be damaged.
5. Install the new spark plug or the cleaned spark plug
into the engine. Gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the
gasket contacts the cylinder head, then about 1/2-2/3
turn more.
Non-gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the plug
contacts the head, then about 1/16 turn more.
NOTICE: Tighten the spark plug properly.
If loose, the spark plug will cause the engine
to overheat. If overtightened, the threads
in the engine block will be damaged.
6. Apply spark plug boot protector to the end of the
spark plug and reattach the wire securely.
