8.2 AIR CLEANER SERVICE
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction, service
the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty
areas.
• Do not use petrol or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• Never run the generator without the air cleaner, otherwise rapid engine wear may result.
