Air Cleaner
Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good
condition.
1. Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
2. Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner body, remove the air
cleaner cartridge, and check the element.
3. Clean or replace the element if necessary.
Air Filter Cover
4. Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result from contaminants. Such as dust and dirt, being drawn through
the carburetor, into the engine.
5. It is normal for a little oil to appear under the air filter box if the
generator is running for a long period of time, or a lot of oil is in the
engine. Wipe up excess oil after each use and after stopping the
generator.
