2. 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.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are
flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner element. Rapid engine
wear will result.
1. Unsnap the two air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover,
and remove the air cleaner 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.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.
