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.
WARNING:
Never run the generator without the air filter. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover, and remove the element.
2. Wash the air cleaner element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse
thoroughly, or wash in nonflammable or high flashpoint solvent. Allow the air cleaner element to
dry thoroughly.
3. Soak the air cleaner element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil. The engine will
smoke during initial startup if too much oil is left in the air cleaner element.
Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.
Fuel Sediment Cup Cleaning
The sediment cup prevents dirt or water, which may be in the fuel tank from entering the carburetor.
If the engine has not been run for a long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned.
1. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. Remove the sediment cup, O-ring, and filter.
2. Clean the sediment cup, O-ring, and filter in nonflammable or high flash point solvent.
