Operation Manual

47
Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
NOTE
■ Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the
ground.
2. AIR CLEANER SERVICE
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.

flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

cleaner cover.
3. Wash the element in a non-flammable or high flash point solvent and dry it
thoroughly.
4. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.
