Foam Air Filter Cleaning

A dirty air cleaner element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the generator in very dusty areas, clean the
air cleaner element 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, and then squeeze out all excess oil.
The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the filter.

3. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner housing and cover using a moist rag. Be careful
to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.
