5.3. Check the Air Cleaner

Loosen the cover screws and remove the maintenance cover.
2.
Remove the air cleaner cartridge retaining screws. Remove the air cleaner cartridge and check the element.
Clean or replace the element if necessary.
3.
Replace the air cleaner element and cover. Tighten the screws securely.
4.
Replace the maintenance cover and tighten the screw securely.
•
Never run the engine without the air cleaner element. Rapid engine wear will result from
contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the fuel system into the engine.
5.4. Connecting the Battery
This generator ships with the internal battery disconnected, meaning you will have to connect the battery before you begin
using the generator.
•
Due to the nature of lead acid batteries, it may be necessary to charge the battery before using the
generator the first time, or after long term storage. It is recommended to connect a battery charger
(for example, the TC2-P Plug-In Trickle Charger) to the DC receptacle in the “Battery Charger”
section of the control panel to charge the battery, as described in
Pre-Operation
. If the battery has
a low enough voltage, the generator will not start, even using the recoil start method. There must be
enough voltage on the battery to run the ECU and the fuel pump.
1.
