Air Filter Service
A dirty air filter 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 dirty areas.
1. Undo the air filter screw.
2. Lift the filter cover from the bottom edge and
unhook it from the two tabs on the top edge.
3. Check the air filter sponge is intact and clean. If not, rinse with water and allow to dry
or replace the filter.
Note:
It is normal for a little oil to appear under the air filter box if the generator is running
for a long period of time, or if a lot of oil is in the engine. Wipe up the excess oil after each
use and after stopping the generator.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE PETROL OR LOW FLASHPOINT SOLVENTS FOR
CLEANING. THEY ARE FLAMMABLE & EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS.
WARNING!
NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE AIR FILTER IN PLACE.
RAPID ENGINE WEAR WILL RESULT FROM CONTAMINANTS SUCH AS DUST &
DIRT BEING DRAWN THROUGH THE CARBURETTOR & INTO THE ENGINE.
4. Pour a small amount of oil on the filter sponge then squeeze, but do not wring out
excess oil. The filter sponge should be damp, but not dripping with oil.
5. Ensure the filter plate & rubber seal are located
properly then reinsert the air filter sponge and
replace the cover.
