8 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Gauze Filter - Clean

Clean the gauze filter properly.
* A clogged gauze filter may result in insufficient
fuel supply, low power output, or engine stall
during operation.
When replacing the gauze filter,
tighten the new one under the same
condition as the old one was installed.
* If the tightening torque is too weak, fuel may
leak, causing a fire or fuel flow-out, which could
lead to environmental pollution.
• For the location of the fuel supply
pump, refer to "2 ENGINE - OUTLINE"
(→ Page 73).
• Some parts such as joint and hose may
be outside the scope of our supply. For
the details, refer to such a document as
the specification sheet prepared by the
generator manufacturer.
• If it is not supplied by SME, follow the
instructions in the supplier's operation
manual.
