FUEL STRAINER MAINTENANCE
Check and clean the fuel strainer after every 100 hours

from a service station bowser.

2. Allow the generator to cool down until the muffler
access cover is cool to the touch.
3. Remove the generator to a flat surface.
4. Clean area around the fuel cap.
5. Turn the fuel cap vent clockwise to the ON
position.
6. Remove the fuel cap and set it aside on a clean
surface.
7. Remove the fuel strainer by hand from inside the
filler hole on top of the fuel tank (see Figure 29)
taking care not to tear or otherwise damage the
fine mesh screen. Keep the fuel strainer vertical so
that any trapped liquid or solids do not spill onto
the generator.

8. Pour the contents of the fuel strainer into
a suitable waste receptacle. Low pressure
compressed air can be used if necessary for
blowing onto the outside of the strainer mesh to
remove any trapped fine grit.
