* Clean/change more often under dusty conditions or operating under heavy load.

IMPORTANT GENERATOR MAINTENANCE TIPS:

• Drain your carburetor after each use and before storage to prevent it from clogging.

• Do not store the generator with fuel inside the tank for more than 2 months - the fuel will go bad.

• Run the generator for at least 20 minutes every month to charge the battery and maximize the

generator's lifespan.

NOTE: Failure to properly maintain the generator will void the warranty.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Check every 50 hours of operation (refer to Recommended Maintenance Schedule).

Routine maintenance of the air filter helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. Occasionally check that

the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt.

To inspect and clean the air filter:

1. Unscrew the maintenance cover knob, and remove the

cover from the side panel.

2. Take the cover off of the air cleaner (Fig. 19). Remove the

sponge-like air filter element from the casing. Wipe

excessive oil and any dirt from inside of the air filter casing.

3. Check and clean the foam air filter element. Good elements

can be washed in soapy water. Dry the element in clean cloth

(do not twist it). Add a few drops of engine oil to the air filter

element and spread it evenly.

If the air filter element has been damaged, replace it with a new

one. Please contact your authorized service center.

4. Reinstall the air filter element, air filter cover and maintenance

cover.

WARNING: Running the engine with a dirty, damaged or

missing air filter element can result in danger to the operator

and cause the engine to wear out prematurely.
