carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more
frequently when operating the generatorin extremely dusty areas.
Never run the generator without the air filter. Rapid engine wear willresult.Unsnap the air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover, and
remove the 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.
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.
