service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in
extremely dusty areas.

explosion. Use only soapy water or non flammable solvent.
Never run the generator without the air cleaner. If not, rapid engine wear will result.
1. Open the air cleaner clip and open the air cover. Check the air cleaner element for
any damage and clean.
2. If the air cleaner element is dirty, please clean the air cleaner element: Wash the
air cleaner element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse
thoroughly or wash in non flammable or high flash point solvent: Pour a few drops
of engine oil, on the oil filter element then squeeze out.
