Using engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly let it contact
with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely that
you hardly used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands
with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the dust heap or pour it on the ground.
2-3 Air Cleaner Service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction,
service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in
extremely dusty areas (the period is shown in the 2-1 maintenance list, operating as follow.).
Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can
cause a fire or explosion. Only use soapy water or nonflammable
solvent.
Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear
