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 air filter can cause a
fire or explosion. Use only soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
m
Never run the generator without the air filter. Rapid engine wear
will
result.

Remove the wing nut and the air cleaner cover. Remove the air
filters and separate them. Carefully check both air filters for holes or
tears and replace if damaged.

Foam air filter: Wash the element in

detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash
in

dry
thoroughly.
Soak the air filter in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess
oil.
The engine

smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in
the foam.
