Air filter

It is very important to maintain an air filter in proper condition. Damage to the generator may arise if the filter has:

•Improperly been serviced.

•Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter due to improper installation and engine wear.

ALWAYS keep the filter clean at all times.

1.Remove the air filter cover (11) on the side of the generator by removing the two screw plugs.

2.Remove the air filter.

3.Wash the air filter in solvent or kerosene and allow to dry.

4.Lubricate the filter using motor oil (SAE #30).

5.Thoroughly squeeze the filter removing excess oil.

6.Replace air filter back into the engine.

7.Secure the cover back onto the side panel of the generator.

IMPORTANT. Never run the engine without the air filter element in place.

Tap extension fuel filter

A small fuel filter has been fitted to the inlet side of the fuel valve (19), inside the tank. This tap extension fuel filter (18) prevents any dirt in the fuel from entering the fuel system.

The procedure for removing this filter in order to replace or clean it is given below.

Note. The following procedure should be performed in a well ventilated area, with no naked flames, sparks, or cigarettes.

Safety glasses should also be worn and engine switch (8) set to the OFF position.

1.Completely empty the tank of fuel. Ensure the fuel tap

(19)is in the OFF position.

2.Compress the two wire arms of the hose clamp on the outlet hose at the tap

(19)and slide the clamp

back from the end of the hose by approx. 25mm. Slide the fuel hose off the outlet of the tap (19).

3. Loosen the lock nut locking the tap (19) on to the tank. Unscrew the tap from the tank and withdraw the tap from the tank. Be careful not to lose the small seal on the thread of the tap.

4.Unscrew the tap extension fuel filter (18).

Note. This filter can be cleaned in petrol to remove any build-up of dirt on the outside of the filter, or the filter can be replaced. Do not operate the generator without this filter in place. To replace the filter after cleaning, or with a new filter, simply screw the filter into the inlet side of the tap.

5.Ensuring the small seal is fitted to the tap thread, screw the tap back into the tank by a FULL 3–4 turns. Orientate the tap so the outlet of the tap is towards the rear of the tank, and the tap control is to the right hand side of the tank.
