Air Filter Maintenance
A dirty air filter will affect the flow of air into the carburetor. This can lead to
excessive fuel use and high emissions levels and even prevent the generator
from starting. Therefore, air filters should be regularly maintained. If used in a
dusty environment, it should be maintained more frequently.
Cleaning the filter element with gasoline or flammable solvents may cause fire
or explosion. Clean with soap and water only. Let dry thoroughly before install-
ing the filter.
Running the generator without an air filter or running with a damaged filter will
cause internal damage to the engine. Running the generator in this condition
will not be covered by the unit’s warranty.
• Open the air filter cover latch and remove the air filter element. Check
the filter element for any tears, holes, or other damage. Replace if dam-
aged.
• If the foam filter element is dirty, clean it by washing it in warm soapy
water. Be sure to rinse the filter element thoroughly.
• Allow the filter element to dry completely.
• Once the filter is dry, add a few drops of clean engine oil and squeeze
the filter, so the oil soaks the entire filter. Do not twist the filter element
as that can cause damage. Also, do not apply too much oil as this can
cause the generator to smoke once started.
• Clean any debris from the filter housing with a damp cloth. Do not allow
any dirt or debris to enter the opening leading to the carburetor.
• Install the filter element and replace the air filter cover.
