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 dusty areas.

Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.

Soak the air cleaner element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the

excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial startup if too much

oil is left in the air cleaner element.

Wash the air cleaner element in a solution of household detergent

and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash in nonflammable or

high flashpoint solvent. Allow the air cleaner element to dry

thoroughly.

Operating the engine without an air filter or with a damaged air filter

will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type

of damage is not covered by the

Distributor’s Limited Warranty.

Unsnap the two air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover,

and remove the element.
