9.2 Air Filter Maintenance

A dirty air filter will affect the flow of air into the carburettor.
To prevent carburettor breakdown, the air filter should be
regularly maintained. If it is used in dusty environment, it
should be maintained more frequently.
Cleaning the filter element with gasoline or flammable
solvents may cause fire or explosion. Please use soapy
water or a non-flammable solvent to clean the filter
element.
It is not advisable to start the generator without the air filter
as this will lead to rapid wear and tear of the gasoline
engine.
1. Open the connecting button of the air filter cover and
open the air filter cover.
Check the filter element and
ensure it's in good clean
condition
2. If the foam filter is dirty,
wash in hot water using
household detergent, non-
flammable or high-flash
solvent. Then rinse with
clean water and squeeze. Add a few drops of oil and
squeeze evenly
3. Replace the air filter element and air filter cover
