9.2 Air filter maintenance.
NOTE: The dirt in the air filter reduces the air flow in the carburettor, limiting
its combustion and promoting serious engine problems. Clean the air filter
regularly, according to the maintenance plan in this manual. In dusty areas, filter
cleaning should be more frequent.
NOTE: The generator should never work without the air filter, otherwise we
will have a quick engine wear.
WARNING: Do not use gasoline or solvents with a low flash point to clean
the filter. They are flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
1. Open the big access cover for maintenance.
2. Release and remove the clips from the air filter cover ( 1 ).
3. Take off the air filter from the inside ( 2 ).
4.
Clean the air filter using a soap and water solution (
3
). Let it dry completely.
5. With the air filter very dry, immerse in oil of the same type of the engine ( 4 ).
6. Squeeze the air filter ( 5 ) by hand until all excess of oil is drained (to avoid
the production of smoke).
7. Once cleaned and drained ( 6 ), reinstall the oil filter, placing also its cover
and clips.
