3. Remove the dipstick.
4.
Place an approved container
below the oil drain plug.
5. Tilt the generator to pour the used
oil out of the dipstick opening.
IMPORTANT! Used oil must be
disposed of properly. Do not pour it on the ground, down
a drain or throw it in the trash. Take the oil to your local
recycling centre or a service station for reclamation.
SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing
air f
ilter will allow dust and debris to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear or scoring on the engine pistons.
Always ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing the
engine’s performance. Clean the air filter more frequently than
specified in the maintenance schedule if the engine is used in dusty
areas.
1. Remove the screws holding the side cover in place.
2. Set the side cover aside.
3. Remove the air cleaner’s outside cover. Do not allow dirt and
debris from to fall into the air cleaner assembly.
4. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
a. Turn the spring latches, then lift the filter cover.
5. Clean the housing interior with warm soap and water. Allow to dry
before reassembly.
6. Inspect the air filter to see if you can clean it or if it should be
discarded. Discard if it is too dirty and replace with a new filter.
a. Clean the dirty air filter by tapping it on a hard surface to
dislodge dirt and dust. Finer particulate matter may still remain
lodged in the filter’s fibers.
b. Use clean compressed air to clean the filter. Set the
compressor to a maximum of 30 PSI. Anything higher can
damage the filter. Hold the air nozzle inside the filter and direct
the air stream outward to blow the dirt and debris away from
the outer surface. Do not use compressed air with chemicals
