FOAM AIR FILTER CLEANING

A dirty foam air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the generator in very dusty areas,
clean the foam air filter more frequently than specified in the
Maintenance Schedule.
1. Clean the foam air filter in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry
thoroughly, or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.
2. Dip the foam air filter in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all excess
oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the
foam air filter.
Soak
3. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner housing and cover using a moist rag.
Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air chamber that leads to
the carburetor.
