Air filter
It is very important to maintain an air filter in proper
condition. Damage to the generator may arise if the
filter has:
•
Improperly been serviced.
•
Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter
due to improper installation and engine wear.
ALWAYS
keep the filter clean at all times.
1. Remove the air filter cover (11)
on the side of the generator by
removing the two screw plugs.
2. Remove the air filter.
3. Wash the air filter in solvent or
kerosene and allow to dry.
4. Lubricate the filter using motor
oil (SAE #30).
5. Thoroughly squeeze the filter
removing excess oil.
6. Replace air filter back into
the engine.
7. Secure the cover back onto
the side panel of the generator.
IMPORTANT.
Never run the
engine without the air filter
element in place.
Tap extension fuel filter
A small fuel filter has been fitted to the inlet side of the fuel
valve (19), inside the tank. This tap extension fuel filter (18)
prevents any dirt in the fuel from entering the fuel system.
The procedure for removing this filter in order to replace or
clean it is given below.
Note.
The following procedure should be performed in a well
ventilated area, with no naked flames, sparks, or cigarettes.
Safety glasses should also be worn and engine switch (8)
set to the OFF position.
1. Completely empty the tank of fuel. Ensure the fuel tap
(19) is in the OFF position.
2. Compress the two wire
arms of the hose clamp on
the outlet hose at the tap
(19) and slide the clamp
back from the end of the
hose by approx. 25mm.
Slide the fuel hose off the
outlet of the tap (19).
3. Loosen the lock nut locking
the tap (19) on to the tank.
Unscrew the tap from the
tank and withdraw the tap
from the tank. Be careful
not to lose the small seal
on the thread of the tap.
4. Unscrew the tap extension
fuel filter (18).
Note.
This filter can be
cleaned in petrol to remove
any build-up of dirt on the
outside of the filter, or the
filter can be replaced. Do not
operate the generator without
this filter in place. To replace
the filter after cleaning, or
with a new filter, simply screw
the filter into the inlet side of
the tap.
5. Ensuring the small seal
is fitted to the tap thread,
screw the tap back into the
tank by a FULL 3–4 turns.
Orientate the tap so the
outlet of the tap is towards
the rear of the tank, and
the tap control is to the
right hand side of the tank.
