AIR FILTER SERVICE
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dirty areas.
1. Loosen cover screws and remove the maintenance cover.
2. Remove air filter cover.
3. Remove air filter sponge (refer to fig.).
4. Check air filter sponge to make sure it is clean and in good condition.
Clean sponge if dirty (refer to fig.). Replace sponge if damaged.
To clean the sponge:
•
Clean air filter sponge in warm soapy water or non-flammable
detergent. Allow to dry before reinserting into generator.
• Dip sponge in clean engine oil and squeeze out all excess oil.
The engine will produce excess smoke if too much oil is left in
the filter.
• Wipe dirt off the air filter cover using a moist rag.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
1. Set the start switch to the STOP position and make sure the fuel cap
is fully closed.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the maintenance cover.
3. Place a container next to the engine to catch the used oil (refer to
fig.).
4. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain the oil into the container by
tilting the generator.
