Air Cleaner Service<br />

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent<br />

carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more<br />

frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.<br />

Operating the engine without an air filter or with a damaged air filter<br />

will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type<br />

of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.<br />

1. Unsnap the two air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover,<br />

and remove the element.<br />

2. Wash the air cleaner element in a solution of household detergent<br />

and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash in nonflammable or<br />

high flashpoint solvent. Allow the air cleaner element to dry<br />

thoroughly.<br />

3. Soak the air cleaner element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the<br />

excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial startup if too much<br />

oil is left in the air cleaner element.<br />

4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.<br />
