AIR FILTER
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to
the carburettor and increase engine wear.
Clean and service the air cleaner regularly
- more frequently when operating
generator in extremely dusty conditions.

the locking hinge on the cover.
3. Remove the air filter element.

Replace if dirty or damaged.

filter housing, re-snap the locking hinge
and re-install side cover securely.

The engine should never run without
the air cleaner element; excessive
engine wear may result.
