MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Please dispose of used motor 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 trash or pour it on the ground.
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.
Used motor oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged
periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle 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
Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can cause a fire or explosion. Use
only soapy water or non-flammable solvent.
