Air Cleaner Service - Honda EM500 Owner's Manual

Air cleaner service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent
carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly (page 13). Service
more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
E
m Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air
cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
I
CAUTION: Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine
wear may result.
1. Loosen the cover bolt, remove the air cleaner cover and remove the ele-
ment.
2. Wash the element in a non-flammable or high flash point solvent and dry it
thoroughly.
3. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.
