AIRCLEANER COVER
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 generatorin extremely dusty areas.
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 typeof damage is not covered by the
Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Soak the air filter 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 filter.
Wash the air filter in a solution of
household detergent and warm

wash in nonflammable or high flash
point solvent. Allow the air filter to
dry thoroughly.
